DOJ sues to block Alaska Senate certification if Sullivan loses
The Trump administration is suing to prevent the Alaska Senate election from being certified if GOP Sen. Daniel Sullivan loses to Democrat Mary Peltola because of the other Dan Sullivan who is on the ballot.
CNN
What the coverage shows
All the outlets frame the story around the Justice Department’s lawsuit to block certification in Alaska if Dan Sullivan loses, with several noting the unusual wrinkle of two candidates named Dan Sullivan on the ballot. CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, Axios and The Guardian US emphasize the preemptive legal move, while the New York Times calls the filing highly unusual and Al Jazeera is the only outlet to foreground possible Democratic win concerns and broader meddling. CNBC alone adds Trump’s claim that he ordered the suit.
