Alaska Sen. Murkowski announces 2022 re-election bid, setting up a fight with former President Trump who endorsed another Republican running in the GOP primary.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, announced Friday that she’s running for re-election next year, setting up a fight with former President Donald Trump who endorsed another Republican running in the GOP primary.
In June, Trump endorsed another Republican for the Senate seat, Kelly Tshibaka, a few months after Murkowski voted to convict him because of his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Murkowski has often bucked her party, voting with Democrats on major issues such as on their effort to block the GOP’s attempts to repeal Obamacare.
