Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said Saturday that she “could not” vote for either former President Trump or President Biden in the 2024 election, opening the door to third-party support as the candidates likely face off in a general election rematch.
Murkowski told NBC News that she “could not” vote for Trump, but added that, “I can’t vote for Biden.”
The moderate Republican endorsed Nikki Haley against Trump for the GOP presidential nomination on Friday, calling her someone with the “right values, vigor, and judgment to serve as our next President.”
But Haley faces a tough battle to challenge Trump for the GOP nomination, with Super Tuesday contests likely to put the race out of reach for the former U.N. ambassador.
Murkowski has long been a critic of Trump, being one of the few Republicans to vote to convict Trump in his 2021 impeachment. In December, she said Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric is “poisoning our country.”

I’m glad she will not vote for Biden at least. Alaska is going more purple as the years go on.
But she COULD vote for every liberal, Biden spending bill that comes before her.
Ah, what the Republicans could do if they elected real Republicans, not RINO Obamaholes like Murkowski.
“I’m glad she will not vote for Biden at least.”
I guarantee you she will vote for Biden.
that’s fine. I couldn’t vote for her if she was running alone against Satan.
Crookedest pol on the hill. She makes Hillary look like an angel...................
Alaska nitwit legacy politician.
Grrrr. So she lies too.
It’s NOT about YOU!! It’s about what your constituency wants.
Why is she a Republican ?
Still waiting for all the demonrats to say the same thing about the potato.....and still waiting......
C’mon Alaska? Surely you can do better than this dip$hit!!!
Why is Alaska suffering from a leftist drift? Has Anchorage become a smaller version of Portland and Seattle?
She’ll arrange for Haley to win the Alaska primary.
Regardless of what some people see as the downside of Trump (I don’t agree with them anyway) the upside is that Trump makes people her “show their asses” (a more...er...impolite way of saying “show their colors”)
We KNOW what people like Murkowski, Christy, Kinzinger, Cheney, McConnell, Romney, (and a host of others) stand for, in their own words and actions so we don’t have to make educated guesses.
That has great value.
Politicians like her would have less appeal if Trump had been avoiding personal attacks and name calling and focused on his many great MAGA issues.

A flat out lie. This chick will easily pull the lever for Biden. As a commodity, her value has been clearly appraised.
won’t matter. only one vote per person...right murky?
I am just surprised she didn’t full-on endorse Biden.
