Sen. Dan Sullivan called allegations of abusive behavior by Senate candidate Mary Peltola disturbing, while Sen. Lisa Murkowski said parts of the report were inflammatory and pointed to Peltola’s grief. The dispute is unfolding in a competitive race that could affect control of the Senate.
Outlets agree that former aides alleged angry outbursts and slur use in Mary Peltola’s campaign and congressional office, and that her campaign disputed the portrayal and cited her grief.
Center outlets present the allegations alongside the campaign’s rebuttal and grief context, with The Hill centering the campaign’s response; right-leaning outlets foreground alleged staff mistreatment while also noting the campaign’s dispute.
