Trump endorses Murkowski challenger in Alaska Senate raceFormer President Donald Trump had promised to endorse a Republican challenger to Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski. On Friday, he kept that promise.
Trump announced his support for Kelly Tshibaka, Alaska’s former commissioner of the Department of Administration.
“Lisa Murkowski is bad for Alaska,” his statement read. “Her vote to confirm Biden’s Interior Secretary was a vote to kill long sought for, and approved, ANWR, and Alaska jobs. Murkowski has got to go! Kelly Tshibaka is the candidate who can beat Murkowski — and she will. Kelly is a fighter who stands for Alaska values and America First.”
Trump rebuked Murkowski for her vote to confirm Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, who, earlier this month, suspended the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge drilling leases. Fellow GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan also supported Haaland’s nomination.
