Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) announced Friday she is endorsing former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in the GOP presidential primary against former President Trump.
“I’m proud to endorse Gov. Nikki Haley,” Murkowski said in a statement.
“America needs someone with the right values, vigor, and judgment to serve as our next President—and in this race, there is no one better than her,” she continued. “Nikki will be a strong leader and uphold the ideals of the Republican Party while serving as a President for all Americans.”
Murkowski, the first GOP senator to endorse Haley in the race, was among seven Republican senators to vote to convict Trump for his alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Trump, however, was not ultimately convicted in the Senate.
The former president has called Murkowski a “RINO,” referencing the acronym “Republican in name only,” and claimed “she’s worse than a Democrat,” in endorsing a primary challenger to her during the November 2022 midterms following her vote to convict him.

Blame Alaska Republicans.
Open minded and non-prejudiced males said “what we need is more women to run for office as Republicans.”
Got some.
We have known for quite some time now that Murkowski is nothing more than an assistant Democrat. This just proves it.
True dimo in Repub clothing.
No one is surprised.
Gee, I’m shocked. Didn’t she also back Hillary in 2016?
Well, I’d say they have ugly cornered.
Two turds in the bowl...
Sure she does. A regular See You Next Tuesday.
IF HALEY HAD THE “RIGHT VALUES” SHE would NOT be running a campaign for a job she is NOT ELIGIBLE FOR.
MURKOWSKI Wouldn’t understand that.
What do you expect from this Hatchet Face?”
Why?
The Base already H8s both.
Blame Mitch McConnell.
Of course she does.
Now can we Repeal 19??
Why is she being shy? She should just go ahead and back Biden directly. Make it official.
Good! She’s no help to Haley or anyone else.
Just another death knell to Haley’s DOA campaign (as if she ever had a “live” campaign).
This endorsement will get Nikki about 3 votes.
Lol.
No.
And no politician who proposes repeal would win, ever.
