> US President Donald Trump said Friday he had directed his administration to sue to block certification of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican Senator Dan Sullivan loses. Trump argued that two Republicans on the ballot have similar names and could confuse voters. The legal fight has intensified questions about whether he would accept a possible midterm defeat.
