'Why Is This Seat In Play': JD Vance Pressed On GOP Weakness In Historic Red State Of Alaska

Published

Well, if you look historically, actually Alaska, it's one of the reasons why I love it. I've never been there myself. I'm really looking forward to it. But it's a very interesting state. In very deep red years, Alaska is competitive. In very deep blue years, Alaska is still competitive. So I think it's just a reality of the politics of the state. They obviously have the kind of weird ranked choice voting system that I don't fully understand. (00:13–00:21)
