Alaska Democratic Senate hopeful Mary Peltola rejected support this week from former Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost the state by double-digits in her failed 2024 presidential campaign.
“Alaska is a must-win Senate seat for Democrats to retake control of the Senate,” Harris wrote in a fundraising email, urging the public to “help Mary Peltola get the support she needs” by splitting a donation between Peltola’s campaign and the ex-veep’s Fight for the People PAC.
Harris continued, “So if there’s anyone who can flip Alaska and secure the Senate majority for Democrats – it’s Mary. But she cannot do it alone.”
"When we all stand behind Mary, we can give her the boost she needs to overcome their spending and organize across Alaska,” the former vice president added.
Peltola, a former congresswoman who flipped Alaska’s at-large congressional seat blue in 2022, was not interested in Harris’ support.
“Mary isn’t seeking endorsements from anyone from the Lower 48 — her focus is and always will be Alaska,” a campaign spokeswoman told the New York Times.
The outlet said the Peltola campaign did not approve the fundraising email.
Harris lost Alaska to Trump in the 2024 presidential election by a whopping 14 percentage points.
Notably, Peltola did not endorse Harris in the 2024 race.

What shall we call it?
The Curse of the Cackle?
Just because Peltola turned down support from Harris does not remedy the Curse.
Oh! And here I was looking forward to her running for president one more time.
Too late junior.
you have chosen.
Associations have consequences
The Alaska GOP should nevertheless relentlessly connect Peltola to Harris and the anti-American agenda of the DSA. Peltola is trying to distance herself from these losers. Don’t let her do that.
She’s playing for the middle spot in RCV. She wants to win by being everyone’s second choice.

I worry, she may win.
“Alaska is a state, a state which is up north. It’s close to the North Pole, which is snowy and cold. We need to be unburdened of thinking of warm and cold, so as a society we have to think of how cold and warm come together. It’s very important that we realize how important it is to vote in this election in Alaska, a state which is both north and cold.”
I could be wrong, but I’ll make my prediction once again:
Kamala Harris will win only a few votes and will not win a single state in the Democrat primaries of 2028.
And she’ll withdraw early saying, “We couldn’t get our message out”.
LOL!!
