Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris will face off in Alaska for the state’s three Electoral College votes. Trump’s pitch to voters has focused on the economy, immigration and crime. Harris, since taking over as the Democratic standard-bearer after President Joe Biden dropped out, has argued she would usher in a new era and has campaigned on improving the care economy, protecting abortion rights and guarding democracy. The conservative state voted to back Trump in the last two elections. In 2020, Trump won Alaska with 53% of the vote to Joe Biden’s 43%. In 2016, Trump won Alaska with 53% to Hillary Clinton’s 38%. Since Alaska started participating in federal elections in 1960, after being admitted as a state the year before, it has voted only once for a Democratic presidential candidate — Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
