Judge tosses Trump's attempt to block Alaska Senate results if GOP incumbent loses

President Trump listens as Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska, who is running for reelection, speaks at an Oct. 13 campaign rally in Wasilla, Alaska.

A federal judge has dismissed a highly unusual lawsuit by the Trump administration that tried to block the certification of results from Alaska's U.S. Senate race if the Republican incumbent lost.
