Elsewhere in CNN's Sunday political coverage, Dana Bash questioned Attorney General Todd Blanche about the possibility that the Justice Department would sue to block Alaska's Senate results should Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan lose. Blanche said a crime could be involved, but that his chief concern was Alaskans ending up confused and without their votes heard.

Representative Haley Stevens, meanwhile, sidestepped a question in an interview with Bash on whether she continues to back El-Sayed, and she criticized how Black voters have been courted.
