Murkowski backs Haley in GOP primary
The Hill ^ | 3/1/24 | Caroline Vakil

Posted on 03/01/2024 3:03:34 PM PST by cotton1706

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.

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.

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.

Why is she being shy? She should just go ahead and back Biden directly. Make it official.

Just another death knell to Haley’s DOA campaign (as if she ever had a “live” campaign).

Lol.

No.

And no politician who proposes repeal would win, ever.
