After a Democrat won the special election last week for Alaska's at-large congressional seat, fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin called on Monday on Republican Nick Begich to withdraw from the Nov. congressional race so the GOP can unite behind a single candidate.
. Peltola was announced as the winner of the special election after a process of elimination in Alaska's new ranked-choice voting system catapulted her above the 50% threshold needed to secure a victory.
Alaska Republican U.S. House candidate Sarah Palin holds a news conference in Wasilla, Alaska, on Monday, Sept. 5, 2022, in which she called on fellow Republican Nick Begich to drop out of the race."It is time for the GOP to unite, we need to unite behind my candidacy and starting today with Nick Begich withdrawing from this race," Palin said at a press conference in Wasilla. She said her opponent"needs to swallow a little pride" and hit the campaign trail in her support.
On Aug. 31, the Alaska Division of Elections tabulated the final results during a public livestream. Peltoa won with 51.47% support after Begich's votes were redistributed to his voters' second choice candidate.
