Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s (R-Alaska) said in a new interview it is possible she loses her reelection bid to a “rubber-stamp Republican.”
“I may be the last man standing. I may not be re-elected,” the senator told The New York Times. “It may be that Alaskans say, ‘Nope, we want to go with an absolute, down-the-line, always, always, 100-percent, never-question, rubber-stamp Republican.’
“And if they say that that’s the way that Alaska has gone — kind of the same direction that so many other parts of the country have gone —I have to accept that,” she added. “But I’m going to give them the option.”
Murkowski, who represents a historically independent state, has been known to split with Republicans on important votes, most recently including her vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the bench.
She has relied on her bipartisanship and willingness to break from the Republican Party as an asset, the Times noted, however her vote to impeach former President Trump after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot sparked pushback from his supporters.
In response, Trump has put his endorsement and support behind a challenger to Murkowski, former Alaska Commissioner of Administration Kelly Tshibaka.
“Kelly Tshibaka is the candidate who can beat Murkowski — and she will,” Trump wrote last year. “Murkowski has got to go!”

Her internal polling should be devastating....she is absolutely a horrible candidate!!!!!!
She’ll be on the ballot in November just like she did with that Miller fella. Trump will be hovering over the process this time so there’s hope. Now if Liz could just drop out-can’t read the tea leaves.
Let us pray
This Country can only hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good news bump!
If not for massive amounts of Outside dark money, and %%% From the Native Corporations, we would have been shed of her last election cycle.
AK now has a ranked voting - again, thanks to massive amounts of Outside dark money.
Alaska’s seats in Congress sell for the cheapest amounts in the US.
If she is re-elected, it will be thru outright fraud.
As opposed to a rubber stamp democrat vote?
Lisa hasn’t represented Alaska or acted in America’s best interests since almost the beginning. Although she got my vote in 2004, I refused to vote for her in 2010 and 2016 and I sure as hell won’t vote for her in November.
So sez the broad who was cowed by DiFi.
