Trump to Rally for Alaska Republicans in Wasilla on Tuesday
Organizers expect up to 3,000 attendees as road closures, flight restrictions and a nearby protest are planned around the rally.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump headlined a campaign rally at the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center in Wasilla to support Republican U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan and U.S. Rep. Nick Begich.
- Wasilla, a GOP stronghold where Trump carried over 75% of the vote in 2024, hosted the event as part of a busy campaign schedule to bolster Republicans ahead of the midterm elections.
- The Wasilla Police Department and Alaska State Troopers closed streets near the Menard Center from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with drivers warned of possible delays of up to 30 minutes along the Glenn and Parks highways.
- Counter-Rallies are planned at Newcomb Park near Wasilla Lake from 1:30 to 4 p.m., while groups in Anchorage will address gas prices and Trump's policies during the same afternoon.
- Trump's visit aims to shore up support for Sullivan, who faces a heated race against Democrat Mary Peltola; the midterm contest could determine whether Republicans retain control of the Senate.
