Summary
Alaska’s U.S. House race just got wild: Libertarian Jim McDermott, who barely cracked the top four in the primary with just over 1% of the vote, is now a general election contender after three rivals dropped out — including a jailed Democrat. Running on individual liberties and fueled by Alaska’s unique top-four, ranked-choice system, McDermott faces off against Republican Nick Begich, independent Bill Hill, and Democrat Eric Hafner — whose eligibility is legally murky despite his prison sentence and non-residency. With Congress hanging in the balance, this quirky, high-stakes race could shake up national politics. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
