The Trump administration is suing to block a possible Democratic victory in the Alaska Senate race.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he has ordered his administration to file a lawsuit to block the qualification of the U.S. Senate race in Alaska if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses, arguing voters will be confused because two Republicans on the ballot have similar names. The legal battle raises questions about whether Trump will accept a potential midterm defeat.
