Trump endorses Murkowski challenger in Alaska Senate race

Former 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.

Murkowski is a RINO and she needs to go!

Please Lord let this slug be primaried.

McConnell threw the full force and effect of the GOP machine behind Murkowski last time, he'll do it again.

You made me chuckle with that one @skeeter    888high58888 

Yes, Mitch is going to be a huge, huge problem for anyone that isn't an incumbent.  He always has been...the SOB!       

It's going to perhaps be a showdown between Trump and Mitch.

There are a few politicians whom I badly want to see thrown out before they're allowed to retire. She is one.

Wow!  The video captured my attention and I watched it in its entirety.  I'm impressed so far.  I haven't done any research on her but the video is powerful!
