Trump Visits Wasilla to Back Sullivan and Oppose Ranked-Choice Voting

Terre Haute, IN, October 13, 2026 —

President Donald Trump visited Wasilla, Alaska, to endorse Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan as Sullivan seeks to win a close U.S. Senate race. Trump urged Alaskans to vote for Sullivan and also called on them to vote down ranked-choice voting.

The visit linked Trump’s support for the Republican senator with opposition to the state’s ranked-choice voting system. The trend summary does not provide further details about Trump’s remarks, the specific proposal or ballot measure he opposed, or how the voting issue figured in the campaign.

Sullivan’s race is described as close, but no polling figures, opponent’s name or other information about the contest were provided. The summary also does not state when the visit took place, how long Trump was in Wasilla, or whether other elected officials or campaign representatives appeared with him.

Trump’s endorsement and appeal to voters were the central reported actions of the visit. The available information does not include a verbatim statement from Trump, details about the audience or event, or responses from Sullivan, his opponent or supporters of ranked-choice voting. It also does not provide information about the election’s date or outcome.

As a result, the reported account establishes that Trump publicly backed Sullivan and urged voters to reject ranked-choice voting, but leaves the broader campaign context and the specifics of the voting proposal unclear.
