Despite betraying 45th President Trump by voting to convict him in the Democrats’ failed impeachment trial following the January 6 incursion of the U.S. Capitol, embattled Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is running for reelection, she announced on Friday.
Fox News reports:
“My heart is, and always has been, in Alaska, and that’s why I am proud to announce my campaign for reelection to the US Senate in 2022,” the senator said in a campaign video announcing her candidacy.
“Since my first election, I committed to work tirelessly on your behalf to expand opportunities for our people, support Alaska‘s job-creating industries and help give voice to hardworking families and business owners,” Murkowski emphasized. “I pledged to be Alaska, always. I’m still committed to those values and meeting the challenges Alaskans face today by building on my record of working together to secure historic victories that lift Alaskan communities.”

Trump’s vowed to come to Alaska to campaign against the senator. And earlier this year he endorsed Murkowski’s GOP primary challenger, former Alaska commissioner of administration Kelly Tshibaka. Several leading members of Trump’s 2020 presidential reelection campaign are working as senior advisers on Tshibaka’s campaign, and Trump’s scheduled to hold a fundraiser for her in February at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Murkowski was first installed in the Senate in 2002 when her father, Frank Murkowski, who was elected governor, appointed her to his old seat. She lost her reelection primary bid in 2010 to a conservative Republican. However, through a write-in campaign, she was able to cling onto power. It is unclear if her political sway is as powerful as it once was a decade ago.
If Alaska votes for her then they are nuts
AGREE 100%!!!
She is a demonRAT who ran as a republican, for the sole purpose to infiltrate the republican party to obstruct and destroy the republican party and to destroy our country.. She is a RINOCRAT that hates America and who hates our citizens. The people who rule over us hate us.
republiCant?
republiCnt?
Thanks for giving me a new word for RINOS ( Rinnorat ) and you NAILED IT !
There is no shortage of nuts in Alaska.
Just look at all those disgusting Eskimos living off the labor of the White Supremacists.
She’s the biggest RINO in the senate, tied with Romney. I thought Sandra Palin was going to run against her. Has anyone heard anything about that?
I think Collins gives them both a run for their money in the RINO department
Yes, Collins is another RINOCRAT who hates America.
Collins is a politician who won in 2020 by nine percent.
Trump lost Maine by 8%
Does everyone who votes against Trump wishes hate America?
That is the definition of a cult.
Cults control by focusing hate/fear.
I Think that Collins is what Maine wants.
One Rino Senator.
One Independent Senator.
Two Democrat Representatives.
I am guessing that Ian has never been to Maine.
I am guessing that Ian has no idea that Collins won in 2020 by 9%
Trump lost Maine by 9%.
The Democrat Governor won by 8%
I think Ian is a fool.
I think Ian wants to primary out Collins.
I think that Ian wants Maine to have a fully fledged Democrat Senator
I think that Ian is a fool.
I think that I Ian is a Trump or nothing fool.
Ian is nothing.
Poor Albert Hess , He has TDS ! But hang in there Albert I have a feeling you are going to get another douse and put you and the rest of the Trump haters completely out of your minds .LOL !
Tom, its Sarah’ not Sandra, and no I have not heard, the one who is running against her has a very good shot at upsetting old Lisa, IMO
And you are Correct ! It is Sarah Palin and not Sandra Palin ! Both Tom and I stand Corrected !
Sandra Palin?? Who, do you mean Sarah Palin?
There is enough Patriots in Alaska Sandra Palin’s run for Senator would a walk in park , she was already Governor of Alaska !
She will lose.
You know this, how?
Uh, because the voters have seen she’s a shill for the demo, I mean communists. There are no more democrats
There are no more Republicans, just Trumpers and Rinos.
Murky won last time running as a write-in. Have the Alaskans wised up yet? Stay tuned!
We shall see how many in Alaska have an IQ above a 0
They have the same IQ as Vermont.
They vote for people, not parties.
Murky won last time by 36%.
Trump won AK last time by 10%.
She was not a write-in.
She won the Republican primary vote with 76%.
Alaskans have wised up.
Phillip has not.
Phillip is a liar.
A liar who voted for Trump.
Who knew…..
Daddy’s daughter. They pass the baton amongst themselves, cross breeding in the process. Decay and dacadence.
Don Jr. 2028?
His daughter a White House Aid.
His son in law World Peace Ambassador/SecDef.
Does Don Jr. have daddy issues?
Please Alaskans vote this demorat Murkowski that calls herself a repubican OUT OF OFFICE!!!!!
No matter how much one cannot stand Murkowski, these angry, childish headlines will do nothing but turn off voters for Trump, voters whom we need to take back the country. These kinds of headlines and the finger-pointing tirades against those of us who are taking a break from donations (at least until 2022) will continue to turn votes from Pres Trump to almost anyone else except Biden. Let’s tone down the rhetoric, please
She is wasting money and time. Murkowski is going in the toilet. There is a very, very, very large group of people that are spearheading their own campaign and sending out news to Never ever vote for another Democrat again or risk their lives as the Dem’s are our to kill as many of us as they can. Democrats are done!
If he is reelected then I’ll ask his main industry which is probably oil and gas he’s going to disappear cost of living is already high up there as it is not everybody wants to hunt and fish in fact the radical left think it’s gonna hurt to planet to do that common sense people common sense
Who is he?
Nice sentence, for a beginner GED.
She is an SFB RINO who is really a dem in repub clothing. Repubs need to take a page out of the dem playbook and lie, cheat or whatever it takes to get her the hell out of the senate. Then she will be free to join the DSCP and cuttle up to the squad.
She’s never been loyal to anyone but herself. Alaska and the GOP have no attraction for her. She hates Trump for his arrogance and is not intelligent to overlook his errors and evaluate him based on his accomplishments. She’s without scruples and must share the horrible mess in which our nation now finds itself.
correction: “…not [sufficiently] intelligent to…”
Last time out Lisa beat the Democrat by 23%.
Primary her her out.
Give the Democrat a chance.
Hopefully Alaskans aren’t so far removed from the rest of the country that they will elect someone that would actually represent them accurately, otherwise it would be like Mitt Romney winning re-election in Utah.
Romney won Utah by 32%.
Trump won Utah 23%
Lisa Murkowski is a real POS – she is as much left as Pelosi and the gang + she is a Trump hater. To all Trump haters — if you are – leave the Republican Party – there is no room for you & you are not wanted in the Party – go over to the dark side the useless side you are not welcome in the GOP – Get Out
Time for RINO to get a real job…..she’s been feeding off the taxpayer tit long enough.
Hey murkowski…
Is that the kind of thing that you do with your daughters.
Do they say that it is just too big?
No worries, Murky is going to be dealing with Trump stumping for whoever runs to primary her. And I believe Alaska likes Trump. He just needs a good conservative to primary her. Maybe Sarah or someone else. With Trump they will beat her ASS!
And he will do that to every rino on a ticket from now on. He wants the traitors gone too.
The republican party needs to stop allowing demonRATs from infiltrating their party. They can do that by aggressively vetting them. These RINOCRATs are giving them a bad name, and tuning people against them, which is the who premise of infiltrating. It serves two purposes. It obstructs the republicans from doing good, and it destroys the only party the ONLY Christian conservative party that believes in God, family, country, freedom, liberty, justice, and the American way.
I remember when America was great.
Trump was a registered Democrat.
Once the traitors are gone will he still have a majority?
He couldn’t get one in the Senate or the House.
But of course there was voter fraud.
Of course there was.
There always is.
That may be true but we all need to remember that there are a lot of people out there that are part of the” hate all things Trump ” crowd. Candidates need to be careful using him.
The Demons backed her in the write in election
She won the Republican primary by 30 points.
SHE CAN TRY…..HOPEFULLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL “NOT” SUPPORT HER…AND THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL RUN AGAINST HER??? WAKE UP ALASKA?????? THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO DRAIN THE SWAMP?????????? DON’T FLUFF IT UP???????????
The American people do not need to support her.
She has all the support she needs, in Alaska.
She voted for the “Build Back Worse than Ever Bill”, aka A Marxist dream to break America bill. Primary her vote against Lisa Murc!
Vote for Kelly Tshibaka For AK Senator! Someone that really cares about Alaska’s economy, and the people of AK, not just go take the senate seat to sit in D.C. and help destroy our country.
Alaska as well as many other states need to step up the plate and take a good look at their Republican Senators and Representatives. These Congressmen and women need to actually represent Republican values, traits, and duly elected Republican presidents. Constituents must elect responsible candidates, not turncoats!
Well said Steve!!!!
The choice is up to Alaskans! A former president should stay out of a state’s political decisions.
