RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski is attacking Donald Trump.
This is what she said to CNN, “I wish that as Republicans, we had … a nominee that I could get behind. I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.”
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, aghast at Donald Trump’s candidacy and the direction of her party, won’t rule out bolting from the GOP.
The veteran Alaska Republican, one of seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial amid the aftermath of January 6, 2021, is done with the former president and said she “absolutely” would not vote for him.
“I wish that as Republicans, we had … a nominee that I could get behind,” Murkowski told CNN. “I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.”
The party’s shift toward Trump has caused Murkowski to consider her future within the GOP. In the interview, she would not say if she would remain a Republican.
Asked if she would become an independent, Murkowski said: “Oh, I think I’m very independent minded.” And she added: “I just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of Donald Trump.”
She previously endorsed Nikki Haley and voted to convict Donald Trump.
Earlier this month, Murkowski, 66, gave a last-minute endorsement to former Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley, who dropped out of the race days later in the wake of a Super Tuesday drubbing.
The Alaskan senator has long exhibited a penchant for bucking party lines. Back in 2021, she was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump during the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Only four of those seven are still in the Senate. So far, Murkowski is the only one of those seven to survive a reelection bid.
