Can you say dirty tricks? The New York Times reports Peltola campaign associates and DSCC aides helped recruit a second Alaska Senate candidate named Dan Sullivan to confuse voters. Peltola’s campaign denies it, no court has ruled, and the DOJ is suing to block certification if the incumbent loses. The Florida “ghost candidate” case that led to felony convictions was in 2020, and prosecutors said recruiting a spoiler isn’t illegal by itself. Stay tuned. Israel’s election is up for grabs: Netanyahu’s bloc has 53 seats, Eisenkot’s 48, and Arab parties a record 19, with 61 needed and few willing to work with them. And the Fed held rates, with two dissents for a hike. All of it today.
