‘Oh, Stop It!’: Todd Blanche Cuts Off Dana Bash’s Speculating How Trump’s Alaska Election Lawsuit Could Lead To Another Jan 6

Attorney General Todd Blanche lost patience with CNN's Dana Bash on Sunday when she asked whether the Justice Department's new Alaska lawsuit could pave the way for President Donald Trump to contest an election result, with consequences like those after Jan. 6. Blanche told her to stop and insisted the department is not preparing any such move. The exchange matters because the suit targets a Senate race that could help decide control of the chamber before the Nov. 3, 2026, midterms, according to Daily Caller.

The department sued Thursday over a ballot listing for a "Daniel J. Sullivan," who appears in the contest with Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan and former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola. According to the complaint, the near-identical names might lead voters to pick the wrong man. It asks a federal court to bar Alaska from certifying a result that may be tainted while officials investigate whether votes meant for the incumbent went elsewhere. Peltola suffered minor injuries Saturday while traveling to an event.

Blanche said the only groundwork being laid concerns Alaska, whose own system should be able to address any confusion that produced an illegal outcome.
