Alaska joins a growing list of states that have opted to cancel their Republican presidential primaries. That list includes Kansas, South Carolina and Nevada, which scrapped their contests earlier this month.
The party said in a statement that its State Central Committee decided on Saturday that holding 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.""As that is the case in 2020, no will be conducted for the 2020 presidential cycle," the statement read.
Bill Weld wrote that"the primary nomination process is the only opportunity for Republicans to have a voice in deciding who will represent our party" and that state GOP leaders should"let those voices be heard." It is not unprecedented for state Republicans or Democrats to decide not to hold a presidential primary when an incumbent is running essentially uncontested.
