'Never Trump' Republican group targets Dan Sullivan in new ad buy

Alaska U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan is the latest target for the Lincoln Project, a group of current and former Republican campaign operatives seeking to unseat President Donald Trump along with Senate Republicans for their devotion to the president.

On Wednesday, the group debuted an ad it funded that promotes challenger Dr. Al Gross, an orthopedic surgeon running as an Independent.

“Dan Sullivan, for his part is no longer a Republican,” said Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen. “He’s no longer a conservative. He’s a Trumpist. When it says Dan Sullivan, US Senator, it should have a ‘T’ behind his name, instead of a ‘R.‘”
