ANCHORAGE, Alaska - At the Republian National Convention underway Monday in Milwaukee, Gov. Mike Dunleavy pledged Alaska’s 29 Republican delegate votes.
U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, said there are 100 Alaskans at the RNC including himself. Sullivan and GOP delegates cheered as they formally nominated Trump to the Republican presidential ticket less than two days after an assassination attempt was made on his life. Sullivan, who was at the 2016 RNC in Ohio, said this year’s convention feels different for several reasons. Along with heightened security, he also said there’s a strong sense of unity and a high degree of energy. The senator echoed what many, across party lines, have been saying since Saturday, a call for a cooler political temperature in light of Saturday’s assassination attempt. Sullivan said Trump’s courage transcends political lines.
