Alaska governor orders investigation into Peltola Senate campaign

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R) on Wednesday evening ordered an investigation into whether Mary Peltola’s (D) Senate campaign violated the state law when it reportedly recruited candidates in an effort to detract support from her opponent.

What the coverage shows

All six outlets center on Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy ordering an investigation tied to reporting about Mary Peltola’s Senate campaign and alleged spoiler candidates. The New York Times frames the story around its own earlier reporting and notes Trump’s criticism, while Fox News twice emphasizes a “covert scheme” or “Dem-linked scheme.” CBS News, BBC News and The Hill also foreground allegations of a same-name or spoiler candidate, and CBS is the only one in the extracts that explicitly says Peltola denied the claims.
