JUNEAU — U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska said he is supporting fellow Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski in her reelection bid this year and said Tuesday that he has not yet endorsed a candidate in the race for Alaska’s only U.S. House seat.

Sullivan said he is “still hurting” over the loss of Republican Rep. Don Young, who at the time of his death last month was seeking reelection to the seat he had held since 1973. Sullivan said that when it comes to a successor to Young, he is interested in “having a fighter like Don Young was” and a Republican.

While it's relatively normal to endorse a fellow senator from your state, note that Mitt Romney refuses to endorse Mike Lee (see below story).

And that's how it works. Moderate/liberal Republicans are endorsed and protected while conservatives are rejected.

We have to vote for THEIR guys but they will NEVER vote for OUR guys.

Just another window into their mentality.

Mitt Romney doesn’t represent Utah in the U.S. Senate. He represents Massachusetts.

Utah voters were so damned stupid they gave up one of their two seats on the Senate.

Spot on. And Romney isn’t even as good as that partial termer pickup guy who won Ted Kennedy’s seat whose name is so forgettable that I forgot it.

Mike Lee represents Mumbai, so Utah, effectively, has no Senators.

‘Sullivan said he is “still hurting” over the loss of Republican Rep. Don Young, who at the time of his death last month was seeking reelection to the seat he had held since 1973.’

Yeah, it sucks when a guy who has been sucking off the the teat of the tax payers for 50 years drops dead to these clowns.

Rino Murkowski must have paid McConnell and Sullivan a lot of money for their support. A true Republican would never support a Rino like Murkowski,,,,,Vote them all out.

Sullivan will eventually pay some price for this. It shows how strong Murkowski is but also tips her hand and warns our side not to get Joe MillerED this time around.

Like the British House of Lords this probably is now an inherited Senate seat. With an heir and a spare, she has insured a Murkowski in the Senate for the next 50 years. Probably more.

Alaska has both RCV and RCV-enabled voting machines for a reason.

Unless Deep State wants her gone, if voters want to get rid of her, they’ll have to get rid of both of the above first.

Maybe Alaska has a small enough population that a third party, presumably Conservative, might actually work.

“Mitt Romney doesn’t represent Utah in the U.S. Senate. He represents Massachusetts.

That’s accurate. And I’m saying that as somebody that lived under Romney as governor.

We can thank Orrin Hatch for Romney. Hatch wanted to retire but didn’t want his seat going to a REAL conservative (as would likely happen in Utah), so he bequeathed the seat to Romney, a despicable and odious man, just like his father was.

It sounds like Sullivan has a thing about brainless old bimbos who see themselves as some kind of freaky little gods. He’s been caught up in Joe Brandon’s Mommie Syndrome.

globalist.. I think Jason Chaffetz, who is well liked in Utah, wanted that seat but ended up at Fox news after Romney was selected. I don’t think Orrin Hatch alone was responsible for this; it was the leaders of the Mormon Church. Romney wealthy so he bought his position within the church. The church wants open borders so they can recruit potential church members, and Rimney was their man. He bought a house in Deer Valley, was told by the church to “convince” the average church member that he didn’t hate Trump, would not run against him and would not work against him (as the church numbers were pro Trump) to get their votes. Obviously, he lied to get elected and the Utahns/Mormons are very angry.

Doesn’t RCV yield the same result as a runoff system only faster?

*Sullivan will eventually pay some price for this.* No he won’t

*I think Jason Chaffetz, who is well liked in Utah, wanted that seat * Pretty boy. I don’t trust him either. Quit on the voters to work for fox. You finish out your term first.
