JUNEAU, Alaska — Republican Nick Begich has won Alaska’s U.S. House race, defeating Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola to claim the seat once held by his grandfather.
Begich went all-in in the lead-up to the August primary, saying he would drop out of the race if he finished behind another Republican. He said he saw that as a way to drive interest in the open primary, in which the top four vote-getters, regardless of party, advance to the ranked choice vote general election. To some, the primary had almost an anti-climactic feeling.
Trump, who had blamed Begich for Republicans losing the seat in 2022 in races that also included 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, threw his support to Begich after Dahlstrom withdrew. During a tele-rally for Begich in October, Trump called Peltola’s election a “fluke.”
