Laughter erupted on MS NOW Wednesday morning as news broke two Republican Dan Sullivans — one endorsed by a fellow Dan Sullivan — would compete for a single Senate seat in a charade that could cost the GOP its control of the chamber.

Dan J. Sullivan, a retired teacher running for the seat occupied by Republican Senator Dan S. Sullivan of Alaska, has won a spot on the general-election ballot on Tuesday, possibly paving the way for ex-Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) to swipe a seat Republicans can’t afford to lose.
