President Donald Trump called for Mary Peltola to leave Alaska's Senate race and be prosecuted on Wednesday.
Watch the clip in the video player above.
The president made the comments in response to a New York Times report that Democrat Peltola's campaign was involved in an effort to recruit a second Dan Sullivan to run against Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan in a bid to confuse voters.
Trump, making the comments to reporters on Wednesday as he prepared to fly to Ohio, called it "voter fraud at the highest level."
"It turned out it was a scheme by the Democrats. That's what they do best: They cheat," Trump said.
