Nancy Dahlstrom , backed by former President Trump , dropped out of the Alaska House race on Friday .

Dahlstrom 's exit comes two years after Alaska ’s ranked-choice voting system failed to coalesce around a single GOP opponent in the last election.

Republicans Nick Begich and Sarah Palin both criticized the system, but some Republicans were pushing hard to consolidate support behind one candidate.

Peltola is a rare Democrat representing a state that went to Trump in both 2016 and 2020 .

She was one of several vulnerable Democrats who skipped the party convention this week , where Vice President Harris accepted the White House nomination.

Tuesday ’s primary results are a promising sign for the vulnerable Democrat .
