Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska outraised a primary opponent who’s been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, taking in $1.1 million, according to her latest filing with the Federal Election Commission.
Murkowski got support from some billionaire GOP donors and corporate political action committees. Hedge fund manager Paul Singer and retired Walmart chairman Rob Walton each gave $5,800, the maximum for both the primary and general elections.

Amazon.com Inc.’s PAC gave $7,500, while Chevron Corp. and FedEx Corp. each gave $5,000.
The senator’s second quarter haul topped her GOP opponent Kelly Tshibaka, who announced Monday she’d raised $750,000 in the first 94 days of her campaign. Tshikaba, who’s been endorsed by Trump and the Alaska Republican Party, raised half of her money from state residents and said 94% of the money came from donors who gave less than $200. Murkowski had little small-dollar donor support, raising just $29,172 from them.

She'll still lose and then "convert" these funds into her own pocket somehow (or send to other RINO's)
The deep state has deep pockets.
The base has voters. We do need to fund this guy if he’s the real deal.
Kelly will have enough $$$
All the Democrats will vote for Murkowski, they know deep down she’s one of them, despite the R next to her name.
Senator Lisa Murkowski is the ologarchs’ bitch.
“It’s not difficult to raise money when you have the ENTIRE Ruling Oligarchy behind you.

I agree with your first paragraph. But she is incredibly hard to get rid of. I understand her GOTV machine in rural Alaska is very very good.

How much did she take from the ChiComs?
They can’t find a strong challenger to her in the whole state?
How much did she earn from the RNC, most of which should have gone to President Trump?
Bill Ellison, The Squish.
Not an ounce of self preservation enters his mind.
“they like me! they really like me!”
Gal. :)
FR was helpful in listing candidates that were not RINOS.
Since then, I get multiple texts and emails from politicians that I do not consider conservative. Whether the RNC sold these donor lists or if Murkowski is using other political donor lists, I have gotten several emails from her touting her efforts to fight DC and the deep state.
Like many politicians, she tracks to the right during primaries and then governs from the left. In short, she lies.
And as others have noted here, almost all of her financial support is from out of state and from large donors.
Sorry Ms. Lisa, you need to be gone.
It would be interesting to see a donor count for each.
Murkowski knows how to play the Alaska jungle primary. She has the GOP ticket bagged.
Alaska does not have open primaries. (24 states do, though some are open only to unaffiliated or independent voters).
Of course. And Kinzinger will rake in the dough, as will Cheney.
Won't make a difference in the end. Money down a rat hole...
...literally.
I guess Murky is emulating the Hildabeast.
