The ruling by U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason in Anchorage was the latest blow to Trump’s efforts to assert a greater federal role in elections, which under the U.S. Constitution are administered by the states.
The race, in which Democratic former U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola is challenging Sullivan, could prove critical for determining whether Trump’s fellow Republicans can retain control of the Senate in the midterms.
