Remarks: Donald Trump Holds a Virtual Tele-Rally for Alaska GOP Candidates - November 2, 2026

12:00 AM
Donald Trump 00:00:00-00:00:20 (21 sec)

Well, Dan, thank you, and it's terrible what they've put you through. It's really a horrible thing. It's a -- it's criminal. It is absolutely criminal and the way you're handling it is incredible, a real -- you're a real guy. And the way you've put up with it, I don't know who else would have done it so nicely, uh, because it's confusing.

Donald Trump 00:00:20-00:00:38 (18 sec)

They meant to confuse. They meant -- it's -- it's a -- it's fraudulent. So I just want to thank you very much and you're doing -- you're running a great campaign and we'll see. We have to educate a lot of people to vote for, I call it the real Dan Sullivan because the real Dan Sullivan is a great, uh, Senator.

Donald Trump 00:00:38-00:01:04 (25 sec)

And you brought more to Alaska than any other person. There's never been anything close. And so have I. I've -- I've been the greatest president for Alaska by any -- by -- by 10 times, maybe more than that, what I've done with the oil and gas, the pipelines, the everything, every element of it. But what you've done is you've been right there by my side and got me to do much of it. Cove Road, I could talk about Cove Road, which was crazy.

Donald Trump 00:01:04-00:01:23 (19 sec)

You know, it's all been approved and ready to go. They've been trying to get it for 50 years. But I want to just say, reelect the real Dan -- I call him the real Dan Sullivan, as crazy as the whole thing is, and defeat corrupt Mary Peltola. Reelect a great Congressman, a friend of mine, Nick Begich. He's a warrior.

Donald Trump 00:01:23-00:01:42 (20 sec)

He's great. He has a less controversial situation going. And also, uh, elect Bernadette Wilson for governor. She's fantastic. It's very unfortunate because you have two Republicans running against her. I don't even know how that happened, but she's doing great, and I've -- I've seen some numbers, but it's so unfair.

Donald Trump 00:01:42-00:02:02 (20 sec)

You have two Republicans with her, so it's three against one Democrat who's not good. But, uh, we -- it's very unfair situation. The whole thing, this is pretty crazy, what we're doing here. But, uh, one thing -- one thing I do ask you to do is pretend that I'm on the ballot, because tomorrow you go vote.

Donald Trump 00:02:02-00:02:27 (25 sec)

Pretend I'm on the ballot, because when I'm on the ballot, I get 49.2 percent more votes than if I'm not on the ballot. So if you pretend -- and actually, I am on the ballot. And interestingly, with Alaska is, you know, I won all three times getting the largest vote in the history of Alaska. So -- and I can, you know, say that about many states, about Texas, about Florida, about Alabama, about many states.

Donald Trump 00:02:27-00:02:47 (20 sec)

But it's also true with Alaska and I just want to tell you that I appreciate it. I love the people of Alaska. I went there, we had a tremendous rally for Dan just two weeks ago. And, uh, really set the world on fire and then we found out that they have a ballot that's got two Dan Sullivan's. I said, that's not good.

Donald Trump 00:02:47-00:03:12 (25 sec)

But, uh, remember when you vote for Senate, you must, uh, really, it's a rank, this crazy, uh, ranked choice voting. It's just ridiculous. No, it's just a -- everything about it is terrible, but you must rank Dan S. Sullivan, Republican incumbent, and you put number one. That would be your number one choice, ranked vote.

Donald Trump 00:03:12-00:03:34 (22 sec)

This rank choice is crazy, that we even have to explain this stuff. It's a -- it's a way of rigging elections, but Dan S. Sullivan, Republican incumbent. You've been treated very unfairly. And you put that number one on your ballots. And do not rank Mary Peltola at all. She shouldn't be ranked at all. She shouldn't even be allowed to run.

Donald Trump 00:03:34-00:03:59 (25 sec)

And you also need to vote yes on ballot measure two to end rank choice -- choice voting. I think that'll get a lot of people out actually, Dan, because the ranked choice voting is a scam, just like Russia, Russia, Russia and everything else, all the different scams, just like what they're doing to you. So, uh, it's great that it's on the ballot to end it. It was put there to be, uh, corrupt.

Donald Trump 00:03:59-00:04:28 (28 sec)

Last week, it was revealed that the Dumocrats in Alaska, despite their sworn statements to the contrary, put a man nobody ever heard of, uh, but happens to be the fake Dan Sullivan on the ballot in order to confuse and obfuscate, but to confuse people and confuse the public with respect to the highly esteemed Senator and my friend, the real Dan Sullivan.

Donald Trump 00:04:28-00:04:46 (18 sec)

You're the real Dan Sullivan, that's for sure. So we have a fake Dan Sullivan and a real Dan Sullivan, but we have two Dan Sullivan's. Uh, but the one we have, everybody knows how to determine. I don't have to get into that. I just hope -- I just hope people go in and know what they're doing. You can't count on that.

Donald Trump 00:04:46-00:05:15 (29 sec)

This is -- just can't count on it. This is voter fraud at the highest level. And the Democrat candidate who was involved in the scheme, Mary Peltola, I mean, she should be removed from the ballot. Something has to happen. This could never -- a thing like this can never, ever be allowed to happen again. The real Dan Sullivan's delivered more for your state than perhaps any other political person in history, other than Trump, I think, other than Trump.

Donald Trump 00:05:15-00:05:45 (30 sec)

But he reopened NWR for energy exploration and development. He secured the Ambler Road project to access one of the largest mining deposits in the world, actually. And he got the largest oil and gas lease sale in the history of Alaska and the Alaska National Petroleum Reserve. And what he's done is just incredible, that he has to go through this make believe stuff is horrible.

Donald Trump 00:05:45-00:06:05 (20 sec)

And working with me and Nick Begich -- and Nick Begich is fantastic, by the way. He secured the 800 mile long Alaska LNG pipeline, the largest energy infrastructure project in the state and one of the largest anywhere in the world. And it's the largest in over a half century, actually, and we got that done.

Donald Trump 00:06:05-00:06:33 (28 sec)

And Congressman Nick Begich has been a key partner in achieving these victories, and I've signed more legislation sponsored by Nick Begich than almost, I think, maybe more than any other member in the House or Senate. Nick is, uh, in other words, he's a very -- he's an activist in a very positive way. Nick is running against a total lunatic named Bill Hill as the local superintendent.

Donald Trump 00:06:33-00:06:55 (22 sec)

Reading proficiency in Bill Hill's School District fell from 86 percent to just 11 percent. How do you do that? It fell from 86. These are the numbers that we're giving you, fell from 86 percent to 11 percent. Other than that, he's doing very well with education, right? And math proficiency fell from 74 percent to 9 percent.

Donald Trump 00:06:55-00:07:18 (22 sec)

He killed Alaska schools and he'll kill your whole state if you let him get involved. We can't let that happen. So I think Nick is going to be in great shape. I hear good things, but his opponent is absolutely terrible. And you also need to elect Bernadette Wilson, who's my friend and she's fantastic and she's been with me from the beginning, as governor.

Donald Trump 00:07:18-00:07:47 (30 sec)

Bernadette has been the leading figure to stop the corrupt system of ranked choice voting. It's a ranked choice. It's a ranked choice horror show. Her radical Dumocrat opponent, Jonathan Chris Tompkins, voted to impose a statewide income tax, supports doubling the gas tax at least, and wrote a letter to Nancy Pelosi, who's corrupt, asking the federal government to permanently kill your oil and gas industry.

Donald Trump 00:07:47-00:08:13 (25 sec)

I mean, do you even believe it? Also wants to take away your guns, is against the Second Amendment and all the other things that are bad. So go and elect Nick Begich. Nick is great and Nick will never let you down. And Bernadette, you got to vote for Bernadette. And Bernadette, your -- your person is unbelievably weak, so, uh, you both have weak ones.

Donald Trump 00:08:13-00:08:39 (26 sec)

But Bernadette, the numbers I just read about that, think of permanently kill your oil and gas industry. So, Bernadette, you should be in good shape. You got to make sure you vote for Bernadette, not one of the other Republicans that -- that are there. They -- one of them told me he was dropping out of the race and then he -- he didn't drop out of the race, so what are you going to do? Tomorrow, go to vote for Dan S. Sullivan, Republican incumbent.

Donald Trump 00:08:39-00:09:18 (39 sec)

Dan S. Sullivan, Republican incumbent for the US Senate, and do the rank -- I mean, this rank choice thing, we have to get that out. So, uh, just do not rank anything having to do with Mary Peltola. Don't put her up. I don't think anybody on this call would. We have thousands and thousands of people on the call, so do not rank this lying Mary Peltola, who said she knew nothing about it and then it turned out she knew everything about it. Vote also for Nick Begich for Congress and rank Bernadette Wilson number one for governor.

Donald Trump 00:09:18-00:09:48 (30 sec)

And I look forward to watching tomorrow. It's going to be -- yours is one of the more complex because of the ranked choice scam. It's a total scam, everybody knows it. And what's happened to one of my truly favorite Senators, one of the best Senators that we've ever had. There's never been anybody that's done nearly as much, and you've had the asset of having me as the president, made it a little easier, but I did a lot of it based on Dan's knowledge of what they want.

Donald Trump 00:09:48-00:10:09 (21 sec)

So if you have any questions, swampthevoteusa.com. And again, I want to thank you and the three of you are amazing. And I want to thank the people of Alaska for giving me more votes than anybody, any candidate that's ever run, three times. And it's just an honor to be talking to you and I look forward to speaking to you -- to you tomorrow.

Donald Trump 00:10:09-00:10:33 (24 sec)

And I'll see you tomorrow. I'll see -- see the people of Alaska. I'll be there someday not to -- not in the too distant future. I absolutely love the place, and I guess people understand it, that's why they voted for me so strongly. So thank you all very much. And Dan, I'll hand it back to you. Great job you're doing, Dan, and a lot of people say, how do you even do it? It's incredible what you've had to put up with.

Donald Trump 00:10:33-00:10:40 (7 sec)

So I just want to commend you. You're a fantastic Senator and a great friend. Thank you very much. Good luck tomorrow.
