## Summary

Attorney General Todd Blanche challenged CNN presenter Dana Bash during a Sunday interview, arguing that the network had shown only part of the Constitution’s Elections Clause. The dispute arose as they discussed the Justice Department’s lawsuit seeking to remove a candidate with a name similar to that of Alaska’s Republican senator from the 2026 ballot, raising questions about federal authority over election rules.

The lawsuit relies on the National Voter Registration Act and claims Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. intends to confuse voters by running against incumbent Dan Sullivan; Sullivan Jr. says his candidacy is legitimate. The DOJ asks a court to delay certification if votes for him could change the result. The Alaska Supreme Court previously allowed him to appear on the ballot, while voting rights groups and Democratic candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign have sought to intervene.
