In support of Trump, Alaska Republicans cancel presidential primary

The Alaska Republican Party has officially thrown its support behind Donald Trump in next year’s presidential elections.

The party announced Saturday it is canceling next year’s presidential primary, officially known as the presidential preference poll.

Democrats will hold a separate presidential primary on April 4, 2020.

The announcement was made after a meeting of the Republican Party State Central Committee in Fairbanks. It said party officials determined “that conducting a PPP would serve no useful purpose when we have an incumbent Republican president, such as President Trump, running for the Republican nomination for President.”
