Sen. Tim Scott dodges on whether he would accept the results of the Alaska Senate race
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., declined to say whether he would accept the results of the Alaska Senate race if Democrat Mary Peltola wins the battleground seat
What the coverage shows
The coverage converges on a federal judge throwing out the Trump administration’s Alaska Senate lawsuit, with NBC News, CNN, CNBC, CBS News, The Independent and 60 Minutes all framing it as an attempt to delay or block certification. Several outlets, including NBC News, CBS News, CNN and The Guardian US, foreground the ballot-name-confusion argument involving the two Dan Sullivans, while Fox News and 60 Minutes say the DOJ plans to appeal. BBC News and Sky News are the only outlets here that instead lead with a separate Trump lawsuit about the Wall Street Journal and Epstein.
