Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, speaks before President Trump arrives at a campaign rally at the Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Center, Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, in Wasilla, Alaska. (AP Photo/Lindsey Wasson) Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan's online presence briefly vanished this week after X flagged his campaign account as potentially fake. Sullivan's team said the @DanSullivan_AK profile was suspended under the platform's impersonation rules before being restored Saturday; X has not publicly explained the action, the Washington Post reports. The Alaska Landmine posted the since-removed X lecture here. Sullivan is locked in a tight reelection fight in Alaska, where his name will appear on the ballot alongside Democrat Mary Peltola, Republican Gerald Heikes, and independent candidate Dan J. Sullivan, a retired teacher. The name issue is the subject of much debate and litigation. Read These Next Woman: 5 weeks after sex assault on flight, no word from United, FBI.
