Donald Trump weighed in with another key House endorsement Monday, hours after meeting with Speaker Mike Johnson — a sign of the GOP’s organizing efforts ahead of November.
The former president endorsed Alaska Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom, a top House GOP recruit in one of their top target seats this fall.
It’s welcome news for Johnson (R-La.) and House Republicans, who are hoping to avoid a disastrous repeat of two years ago, when Democrat Mary Peltola won the seat as two of their own battled it out under the ranked choice system.
Nick Begich, from a well-known political family, helped cost the GOP control of the seat in a 2022 special election. Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was the other Republican in that contest. This cycle, Begich is running again, this time against Dahlstrom.
