Peltola distances herself from Kamala Harris endorsement ahead of Alaska primary
Her campaign said it neither sought nor approved the email, as Republicans tried to use the endorsement to portray her as tied to national Democrats.
- Former Rep. Mary Peltola distanced herself from an endorsement by Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday as she seeks to flip a Senate seat in Republican-leaning Alaska.
- Harris's Fight for the People PAC sent a fundraising email Wednesday urging donations to Peltola, declaring that if theres anyone who can flip Alaska and secure the Senate majority for Democrats its Mary.
- A spokesperson told The New York Times the campaign neither approved nor knew about the email beforehand and said Peltola isnt seeking endorsements from anyone from the Lower 48.
- Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan's campaign immediately leveraged the endorsement to link Peltola to national Democrats, arguing the endorsement revealed which political team she represents.
- Democrats need a net gain of four seats to overcome the 53-47 Senate majority held by Republicans, making Peltola one of the party's most important recruits.
