US President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold campaign rallies in Arizona and Montana on Wednesday as Republicans face competitive races ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. The visits follow his rally in Alaska on Tuesday.In Arizona, Trump is backing Republican Representative Andy Biggs in his contest against Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, who is seeking re-election. Montana’s Senate race is also on the president’s campaign schedule, with Republican Kurt Alme, a former federal prosecutor, running against Democrat Alani Bankhead for an open seat. Trump has endorsed both Republican candidates.The Arizona governor’s race and Montana Senate contest are among the races Republicans are looking to win as they seek to maintain their position in Congress and strengthen their standing ahead of the midterms.During a rally in Wasilla, Alaska, on Tuesday, Trump urged voters to re-elect Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, who is running against Democrat Mary Peltola. He called the incumbent the “real Dan Sullivan” to distinguish him from another Republican candidate with the same name.“On Nov. 3rd, we’re going to send one of the best and most respected senators in D.C., Dan Sullivan, the real Dan Sullivan,” Trump said.He was referring to Dan S. Sullivan, the incumbent senator. Another candidate, Dan J. Sullivan, a retired teacher also running as a Republican, has drawn attention because of the shared name.Trump called the challenger the “fake Dan Sullivan” and alleged that Democrats had put him forward to confuse voters.“No, we can’t let that happen. It’s just cheating. Terrible,” Trump said. “They put him up to get a little confused.”“So you gotta remember Dan Sullivan, Republican incumbent,” he added.The Alaska rally also included pardons for Zachary Czubak and Patrick Fleming, who co-owned a vehicle repair business in Anchorage. The two men pleaded guilty in 2022 to violating the Clean Air Act by tampering with equipment required to monitor diesel emissions from vehicles.Czubak was sentenced to five years of probation, a $66,000 fine and 180 hours of community service. Fleming was ordered to pay a $66,000 fine.At the time of their guilty pleas, US Attorney S. Lane Tucker for the District of Alaska said the authorities would continue to pursue environmental offences.“We take protecting the environment seriously in Alaska and we won’t hesitate to prosecute individuals committing environmental crimes,” Tucker said in a Justice Department news release.
