Senate Republicans including Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis are publicly acknowledging the pressure campaign President-elect Trump and his allies are waging about some of his controversial cabinet picks.
When looking at the Senate Republican conference, wondering which of its members are likely to be a thorn in Donald Trump’s side in the coming years, many tend to focus on Maine’s Susan Collins. The five-term GOP incumbent is generally seen as her party’s most centrist member on Capitol Hill, and in two years, Collins will be running for re-election in a state the president-elect lost by roughly seven points.
While Murkowski didn’t vote to convict Trump in his first impeachment trial, she was one of a handful of GOP senators to concede that his extortion scheme toward Ukraine was wrong — and a year later, she did vote with Democrats to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial. Indeed, just two days after the Jan. 6 attack, Murkowski was one of a tiny number of congressional GOP members who publicly called for Trump’s immediate resignation. “I want him to resign. I want him out,” she said on Jan.
