President Donald Trump launched a series of late-night social media attacks in the early hours of Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, targeting midterm candidates in Michigan and Alaska just hours before polls opened, HuffPost reported. The sequence of posts began shortly before 1:00 a.m. and focused heavily on unresolved ballot disputes and controversies surrounding competing candidates.
In his first message posted at 12:52 a.m., Trump attacked Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, making unsubstantiated accusations and urging voters to reject him. Approximately 20 minutes later, the former president shifted his focus to Alaska, launching an all-caps rant against Daniel J. Sullivan, a Senate candidate sharing a name with the incumbent Republican senator.
Legal Battles And Voter Intimidation Allegations
Trump has repeatedly claimed that the second Sullivan entered the race to confuse voters and commit election fraud, demanding that the Justice Department block the certification of the vote. A federal judge dismissed that lawsuit on Sunday. Meanwhile, several of Sullivan’s donors reported receiving visits from FBI agents inquiring about their contributions, leading some donors to describe the visits as voter harassment and intimidation to local outlet KFSK.
In addition, Trump demanded the removal of Democratic candidate Mary Peltola from the ballot following a report that Democratic operatives searched for potential spoiler candidates, including other individuals named Dan Sullivan. Peltola has denied any involvement in the recruitment tactic, which remains controversial but is not inherently illegal.
