House seat but this time without the GOP infighting that helped her cruise to victory in last cycle’s race.
Ahead of the 2024 primary, Begich had pledged to drop out of the race if he came in third behind Dahlstrom. Dahlstrom would not agree to the same pledge before the election, but her decision to ultimately withdraw earned Begich an open Republican lane and former President Donald Trump’s endorsement. “I think Alaskans recognize that whether you’re a Republican or whether you’re Democrat, you’ve got to stand for common sense values, conservative values, that reflect our state are the ones that we want represented in D.C.,” Begich said. “And that’s why, anytime that you’ve seen Alaska in the past elect a Democrat, they’re quickly replaced by a Republican.”. Voters rank the candidates in order of preference rather than choosing a single candidate.
Begich made a broad conservative critique of Washington in his interview, saying the size of government has hurt the voters of Alaska.
