Alaska Primary Race Tightens | Anchorage News

About this episode

Alaska’s U.S. House race is heating up as incumbent Rep. Nick Begich leads the primary, holding off a vocal challenge from independent Bill Hill over Trump ties. The state’s top-four system keeps all contenders alive—even suspended Democrat Matt Schultz and even federal inmate Eric Hafner, who’s still getting votes. PAC-backed candidates like Clay Strickland and Jim McDermott haven’t cracked the top four yet. With thousands of ballots still uncounted and potential shakeups ahead, the final lineup remains uncertain—Begich’s lead could shift as counting continues through the month.
