Sullivan walks the line with Trump in Alaska Senate race

What happened: Dan Sullivan is not distancing himself from President Donald Trump in his Alaska Senate reelection bid, declining to break with Trump on several policies during a debate, an economic forum and a Playbook interview. Key numbers: Trump won Alaska by 13 points two years ago; Trump promised $5,000 dividends if Republicans hold Congress; one voter said his Peltola support is 70% about Senate control Why it matters: Polls show Sullivan tied with or trailing former Rep. Mary Peltola, and Alaska is seen by Trump officials as increasingly critical to keeping the Republican majority.
