She lost in the primary before and then won as an independent.

GOP is going to Flood her with money
Last minute Ads push her over.
Do you recall her opponent last time, after she was primaried out but came back as indie, or was it as a write-in ?
She’ll do it again after this upcoming primary loss. Kelly Tbliski (sp) seems pretty likable. Moreso than whomever Murk beat in ‘06’. What are the odds ?
“She lost in the primary before and then won as an independent.”
According to wiki, she won the republican primaries in 2016, 2018 and 2020.
1.) She won as a Republican write-in candidate (2010). The way the Alaska law was at the time, a candidate who lost their primary could run as a write-in, and write-in candidates in Alaska could still claim a party.
2.) This time around, there is no party primary. There is a jungle primary of all candidates and the top 4 go on to the general election. Then, there is now also ranked-choice voting. Murkwoski is very much still in the hunt - virtually no one could vote for her as their first choice and she could still win.
“ She lost in the primary before and then won as an independent.”
Then the AK rep party threw their support behind her write in campaign (after she had pledged to support the party nominee). They cutoff the rightful repub nominee and the rest is history. I changed my party affiliation to independent after that.
She wasn't running against a pissed off President Trump then. She is now. Totally different situation altogether.
Right - the Democrats know she’s one of them
