Twenty-one-year incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has said she will vote for Democrat House candidate Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) over Republican challenger former Gov. Sarah Palin.
“Yeah, I am,” Murkowski responded Friday when asked by the Anchorage Daily News if she would vote for the Democrat.
Alaska uses the ranked choice voting system, which ultimately affords Democrat voters the opportunity to vote for Murkowski on the second and third ballots. Murkowski’s decision to vote for a Democrat is likely intended to attract more votes down-ballot to ultimately defeat Trump-endorsed Senate Republican candidate Kelly Tshibaka, who is leading in the polls by a slim margin.

If there are that many Republican senators, I wonder who Angus King will align with?
PS. For the Russophiles on here, they actually spell her name Меркауски.
Don’t know.
I go with the notion the GOP gains three (Arizona, Georgia, Nevada) and holds all seats they hold now.
Beyond that I see an uphill climb but you never know it could be there in New Hampshire.
Northern states are more vulnerable to the economic malaise.
Any candidate that calls for the election of an opposing party over the party’s candidate should be removed immediately from the party.
Follow the $ you find the power. Qui Bono? Aka her connections to Alaskan Rare Earth Minerals and all the left leaning Senators and Dems that support her including LGB, and how they Benefit?....
Another Lizard.
Not even for the other Republican running.
She is really going all out to appeal to “her base” or at least her secondary base to get those second choice votes.
Another despicable POS RINO just like Liz Cheney. May they rot in Hell.
McConnell would only need 28 votes in that scenario to maintain his position. Majority leader is a caucus-only vote - not like the House where the whole House votes for Speaker.
Why would the GOP caucus expel Murkowski and dethrone McConnell, when most of them agree with both?
Couldn’t think of a stronger endorsement
of course Mookowski will vote D
of course
she’s a total leftist Useful Idiot
may all the good Alaskans find a way t remove her from the public stage, asap... she’s an embarrassment
Just like tbe RINO she is.
Flush Murkowski.
We sure have some great GOP /s
POS Skank
Murkowski is making this pledge to lockdown PAC money from McConnell.
The last time I saw a mouth like that…
RINOs Mitch McConnell and Tim Scott endorsed Murkowski.
no matter what happens, I hope Alaska DUMPS the ranked choice voting after this cycle.
a terrible terrible idea.
