BREAKING: WOAH! Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski ENDORSES A DEMOCRAT for Alaska governor, and Trump is having a MAJOR MELTDOWN. Donald Trump has become so toxic to the members of his own party that his fear and intimidation tactics are no longer preventing Republicans from openly defying him, as the latest party-bucking move from Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski so clearly demonstrates. Donald Trump called Murkowski “The Republicans’ Worst Senator, by far.” She responded to his insulting harassment by backing a Democrat to run her state. Murkowski endorsed Democrat TRUMP KRIESS TOMPKINS MURKOWSKI on Tuesday to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy, a longtime Trump ally whom Trump endorsed three times. Kreiss-Tomkins, 37, is leading in the polls against Trump-endorsed Republican Bernadette Wilson. If he wins, he’d be Alaska’s first Democratic governor since 1988. Murkowski didn’t hold back. “JKT is a young Alaskan with a view and a perspective that I think Alaska needs right now,” she told Alaska News Source, praising his “freshness of energy” as “a common-sense guy.” She also took a swing at the outgoing Republican administration: “I have found fault with the Dunleavy administration. I think that they have left federal money on the table.” “Alaskans are seeking change. They don’t like the status quo,” she said. “I think it’s been a hard eight years,” adding, “our future is too important to be hamstrung by partisan divisions.” And she wasn’t alone. Her father, Frank Murkowski, a former Republican senator and governor of Alaska, endorsed the Democrat too. Trump, naturally, went nuclear on Truth Social. “Lisa Murkowski is a DISGRACE to Alaska and our Country. You just don’t get any worse!” he raged. “I hope the Great People of Alaska understand what is happening.” What’s happening is that Trump’s Justice Department just sued Alaska over an independent Senate candidate who happens to share a name with Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, seeking to invalidate the election results if Democrat Mary Peltola wins. Murkowski, who is backing Sullivan in that race, still called out the stunt: “The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit.” This is the same senator who voted to convict Trump over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, slammed his bid to grab Greenland, and criticized his ballroom boondoggle. She also admitted last year that “we are all afraid” of retaliation for criticizing the president. “Retaliation is real,” she said. “And that’s not right.” Afraid or not, she keeps defying the retaliator-in-chief. That’s more than you can say for nearly every other Republican in the Senate. Kreiss-Tomkins said he admires Murkowski for working across the aisle and hopes to “live up to” it as governor. When a Republican senator and a former Republican governor both decide a Democrat is Alaska’s best bet, maybe the problem isn’t Murkowski. Maybe it’s the party Trump built. Please like and share to commend Senator Murkowski for her brave decision!
