Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, lamented the GOP’s continued support of Donald Trump heading into November’s election.
A report from CNN emerged on Sunday detailing Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski’s growing frustrations about former President Donald Trump’s influence over the GOP, with the Alaska lawmaker not ruling out a possible departure from the party.
Murkowski is the senior U.S. senator from Alaska and was first voted into the office in 2002. Over the years, she has emerged as one of the more moderate Republicans in Congress, having sided with former President Barack Obama’s legislative agenda most of the time, voted in favor of convicting Trump during his second impeachment trial, and opposed the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
In a piece published on Sunday, CNN spoke to Murkowski about her growing frustrations with the direction of the GOP and its continued support of Trump, who is the party’s presumptive nominee for president in this year’s election.
