GOP senators urge Trump to back off Murkowski threat
By Jordain Carney - 06/08/20 07:07 PM EDT

op Senate Republicans are urging President Trump to back off a threat to campaign against Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) if she runs for re-election in 2022.

Trump tweeted late last week that he would be campaigning in Alaska in 2022 against Murkowski and would back anyone with a "pulse" after she told reporters that she was “struggling” with whether she could support him in 2020.

But top Senate Republicans indicated on Monday that they don't support efforts to unseat Murkowski, who is one of the Senate GOP caucus's most moderate members.

"I'd leave Lisa alone. She's a member of our conference, and we want to keep it that way," said Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Republican senator.

Why should Trump do that,  she is disloyal.

Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
