Never Trumpers on the move: Sen. Murkowski Doesn't Rule Out Leaving Republican Party

[PJ] On Sunday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) hinted at the possibility of parting ways with the Republican Party due to its alignment with former President Trump.

In an interview on "Inside Politics Sunday with Manu Raju," she expressed her dissatisfaction, stating, "I wish that as Republicans, we had a nominee that I could get behind. I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump."

The Hill has more:

When asked if she is considering an independent run, the Alaska lawmaker kept her cards close to her chest, telling Raju, "Oh, I think I’m very independent minded. I just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of Trump."

Pressed further if she is "officially" considering and open to an independent bid, she said, "I am navigating my way through some very interesting political times so let’s just leave it at that."

It comes after the Alaska Republican said earlier this month that she "could not" vote for either Trump or President Biden, who are their respective parties’ presumptive nominees.

At least there’s that.

When asked by Raju about Trump’s description of imprisoned Jan. 6 rioters are "hostages," Murkowski said, "What happened on Jan. 6, was an effort by people who stormed the building in an effort to stop an election."

#4 Murkowski won’t go until Mitch is no longer in charge. She is in the pool of RINOs that betray our interest to Schumer. That service is likely not without some type of consideration or compensation. Once Lisa is officially a Dem, she loses leverage. Without Mitch she might try to work her own deals as an Independent. There is risk in that gambit. She is not an intellectual giant and dirt exists on her based of Feinstein’s famously photoed posture.
