The Alaska Republican Party said that it canceled the GOP presidential primary in the state, asserting it “would serve no useful purpose.”

The Alaska Republican Party said its State Central Committee passed an interim rule allowing it to determine that conducting a primary “would serve no useful purpose when we have an incumbent Republican president, such as President Trump, running for the Republican nomination for President.”
