SCOOP: 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.

Data suggest that the second Dan Sullivan in Alaska won't have enough of an effect to change the outcome:

PSA because people keep overhyping the current numbers - Alaska has ranked choice!!
A measurement of Dan J “confusion” impact could be how many 1st choice Dan J voters exhaust their ballots and didn’t rank a second option. We are a long way away from that point right now.

Not a flip, but still notable: Los Angeles Rep. Jimmy Gomez, who has been in Congress since 2017, just lost to a candidate backed by the DSA whose only elected position, until now, was on the Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council.
Voters have chosen Angela Gonzales-Torres, a 31-year-old from Highland Park who was backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, over incumbent Rep. Jimmy Gomez in the race for Congressional District 34, according to the Associated Press

Given how well Dems performed, Montana looks like a big potential missed opportunity for the party with supporters of Seth Bodnar, the left-leaning indy, and Alani Bankhead, the Dem, sparring until the bitter end.

Brian Poindexter, a Democrat and union ironworker, just unseated Representative Max Miller in Ohio.
Poindexter’s campaign was considered such a long shot that when I first met him this summer, he had only just moved from his shed into a campaign office.

Happy election day from the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage, which I am told has a polar bear. (And is where Dan Sullivan just voted)
Ahead of an Election Night that could be a huge indication of the progressive movement’s viability, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez releases a detailed memo highlighting her midterm influence: campaign stops, endorsements, $$$ raised.
Ends with this acknowledgement of 2028 buzz.

“I’m not asking for freedom from criticism," Ocasio-Cortez told DSA members earlier this year.
"But I think what I am asking for is to be treated as a trusted person and friend.” nytimes.com/2026/11/01/us/po…

Sometimes you just need to let a story about the president's interest in a senator's rear end speak for itself:

NEWS: Roger Marshall goes rogue.
The inside story of how an embattled Kansas Republican wanted an ad to push back on medical debt attacks, was told no by his team, made one anyway without knowledge of some advisers and got it out into the world.

Why did The New York Times publish its Alaska Senate race investigation so close to Election Day? How did @nytimes editors weigh a source’s retraction request? What did the reporting reveal? I spoke with @Kellen_Browning & @AmyEGardner about all of it. nytimes.com/2026/10/31/insid…
Asked whether it’s possible someone on Peltola’s campaign helped recruit Dan J, she says “I honestly have no idea.”
