Just 18 days from a three-way election, Alaska Gov. Bill Walker, a former Republican turned Independent, abruptly suspended his campaign and threw his support to the Democratic candidate, Mark Begich, who he said has “a better chance” of winning against the Republican.
Just over two weeks out, Walker and Begich were handily losing to Republican Michael Dunleavy in the state’s three-way gubernatorial race, so on Friday night, Walker announced that he was dropping out and hoping his supporters would embrace the Democrat.
