A Democratic senator answers the Alaska ballot story on live TV, in a clip Breitbart posted Wednesday.

The setting. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey was on CNN's "News Central." We summarize the transcript Breitbart published and did not watch the video ourselves.

The question. Co-host Boris Sanchez noted the New York Times reported that aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee helped recruit spoiler candidates in Alaska to split Sen. Dan Sullivan's vote. He said the Mary Peltola campaign and the DSCC both deny it, and asked whether the DSCC should open an internal review and whether that is an acceptable way to win a seat.

The answer. Booker said the story "is much ado about nothing." He pointed to Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who he said has called the matter already decided by the Alaska Supreme Court, with the Trump Justice Department having no standing. He said he had looked at the ballot and that it "clearly says that Dan Sullivan is the Republican candidate." He called the federal effort "insulting Alaska voters" and an attempt "for Donald Trump to cast a shadow over what might be a really bad loss for him."

Note for readers: these are Booker's statements. He did not answer the review question directly in the excerpt Breitbart posted. Both the Peltola campaign and the DSCC deny the Times account. To hear him in full, watch at the link below.
