共和党参议员丹·S·沙利文正在为连任而战，对手是民主党人玛丽·佩尔托拉——以及另一名叫丹·J·沙利文的候选人。特朗普鼓励阿拉斯加人投票给“真正的”丹·沙利文，因为他希望为这位共和党现任参议员实现突破，而这场参议院竞争因一名名字几乎相同的对手而变得复杂。
Republican senator Dan S Sullivan is vying for re-election against Democrat Mary Peltola – and another candidate called Dan J Sullivan Donald Trump has encouraged Alaskans to vote for the “real” Dan Sullivan, as he sought a breakthrough for the Republican incumbent senator in a tightly fought Senate race complicated by a rival candidate with a near-identical name.
沙利文今年在连任竞争中对手是前美国众议员玛丽·佩尔托拉，这场竞争已成为中期选举中最激烈的战役之一，民主党希望借此夺回国会控制权，并削弱特朗普在其总统任期最后两年的影响力。
Sullivan’s re-election campaign this year against Democrat Mary Peltola, a former US House lawmaker, has turned into one of the most hotly contested battles of the midterm elections, in which Democrats are hoping to seize back control of Congress and hamper Trump for the final two years of his presidency.
