At their final debate on Thursday, Oct. 15, Dan Sullivan (Sen-R Alaska) was asked about the White House decision to let Russian diesel onto the world market. "I just led the effort on a Russia sanctions act that passed the Congress, so I'm opposed to that," he said, per NBC News. Treasury's Oct. 9 license allows the Russian diesel through April 7, 2027. Sullivan also said the Iran war "needs to end soon" because its energy costs are too high. He attacked his challenger, former Democratic House member Mary Peltola, over her lobbying.
Key details
- NBC News and Fox News both rate the race a toss-up.
