Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) was projected to advance from the state’s Republican Senate primary, setting her up to compete in November’s midterm general election.
The Associated Press made the call at 1:41 p.m. ET.
The incumbent senator was widely expected to advance from the all-party primary in which the top four vote-getters advanced to the general election.
The primary was seen as a test for former President Trump’s endorsement. Trump backed Murkowski’s primary challenger Kelly Tschibaka in the wake of Murkowski’s vote to convict him in his second impeachment trial.
Tschibaka was also projected to advance early Wednesday morning.

I'm also amazed at this copy: "The Associated Press made the call at 1:41 p.m. ET."
Really? So they either they made the call before the election, or they will make it later today?
I believe VDH gives her no chance in the general.
That’s why everyone should use the 24 hour clock.
Do it in Zulu time as well.
We all know she would advance, but she actually beat Kelly Tschibaka. I wonder how many Democrats voted for Lisa.
She was expected to make it into the top 4, but what position was she?
So that means this seat will turn over to a Democrat? As much as I dislike Murkowski, I don’t want that to happen.
What is wrong with Alaska ?
I wouldn’t vote for Murkowski under any circumstance, consequences be damned.
He gives no chance to which candidate? Palin, Murkowski or the Tschibaka?
Good point. It was a comment he made during an interview a few months back. With RCV, I don’t really know how it will turn out.
No, it means Alaska Democrats prefer Murkowski to an actual card carrying Democrat. She’s most likely safe.
Drugs, alcohol, no Sun in Winter…
I’m basing this on absolutely nothing.
I'm not too fond of the Zulus. I'll settle for Greenwich Mean Time instead.

9.41 pm there
RCV and RCV-enabled voting machines.
Same thing that’s wrong with Maine.
Those RCV provisions were included in HR1 for a reason, eh?
All of them.
The Hag came in first at 44% with Tschibaka at 40%.
What the Hell are Alaskan republicans thinking??
Cowski will get crushed in the general, G-d willing.
No, it’s a Republican vs Uniparty Cowski.
They have ranked voting in Alaska (a scam to protect incumbents).
