President Trump said on Truth Social on October 28, 2026 that Alaska Democrats “illegally searched for, and recruited, a man named Dan Sullivan” to run against the Republican senator, also named Dan Sullivan. He called it fraud and said Mary Peltola should face “Legal and Political consequences.” The post is the President’s statement. It does not announce a lawsuit, a court filing or a change to the ballot.
What the President posted
The post is on the President’s Truth Social account, dated October 28, 2026 at 19:26 UTC. The same text appears in an earlier post on the account at 19:08 UTC. It is a repost of the President’s earlier statement on the same subject.
The post quotes a New York Times line: “Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska’s Senate ballot. But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run — as well as other candidates.” The newspaper’s own reporting is not reproduced here, so check the original article if you want the full context.
What the post asks for
The post makes four claims and requests:
- It says the Democrats’ statements were “made under oath in Federal Court,” and that they “perjured themselves.”
- It says Mary Peltola “should suffer the Legal and Political consequences for what she has done.”
- It calls the matter “A FRAUD ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.”
- It says Dan Sullivan “should be allowed to run without either Mary Peltola or FAKE Dan Sullivan on the Ballot.”
Those are the President’s words. Treat the recruitment, perjury and fraud claims as his statement until a court, an election official or the newspaper’s own reporting confirms them.
What is confirmed and what is still pending
What is confirmed is the post itself. It was captured on October 29, 2026 at 15:40 UTC with the text quoted above, and it appears on the President’s verified Truth Social account.
What is still pending depends on other institutions:
- Any court ruling on the perjury or fraud claims.
- Any legal consequences for Mary Peltola or her campaign.
- Any change to who appears on the Alaska Senate ballot. That depends on courts and election officials, not on a social media post.
The President’s post also calls on the Senate race to be run “without either Mary Peltola or FAKE Dan Sullivan on the Ballot.” That is a request, not an order.
What this means for Alaska voters
If you vote in Alaska’s Senate race, check the name on your ballot before Election Day. Use the official sample ballot from your state’s election office. Watch for announcements from that office and from the courts, since those are the channels that can change who is on the ballot.
