Another anti-Trump Republican has entered the ring.
Senator Murkowski (R-AK) officially announced she will be running for re-election in 2022.
Trump will surely jump into this race with both feet now that Murkowski has officially announced.
Game On
Murkowski fought Trump regularly when he was in office.
She was also among those that pushed for the impeachment of Trump.
Murkowski, in announcing her re-election bid, stated, “My heart is, and always has been, in Alaska, and that’s why I am proud to announce my campaign for reelection to the US Senate in 2022.
“Since my first election, I committed to work tirelessly on your behalf to expand opportunities for our people, support Alaska’s job-creating industries and help give voice to hardworking families and business owners.
“I pledged to be Alaska, always. I’m still committed to those values and meeting the challenges Alaskans face today by building on my record of working together to secure historic victories that lift Alaskan communities.”

Trump has already backed former Alaska commissioner of administration Kelly Tshibaka as a primary challenger against Murkowski.
In fact, several former Trump staffers are advising her campaign.
This will not be an easy battle, however, as Murkowski has the full backing of the establishment, with the National Republican Senatorial Committee already getting behind Murkowski.
Even so, this will not be an easy fight for Murkowski, as she was trailing Tshibaka in early polling.
This will be another key race for Trump that, if he manages to knock Murkowski off, it will show just how much pull he will have moving forward into the 2024 cycle.

she might be running but do the people of Alaska want her
She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and the left have no right to stand as a Republican.
I hope Alaska opens their eyes and vote for truth righteousness and justice
She won’t get reelected
I hope not……
Well I just hope the people in Alaska don’t elect a democratic
Its same thing if they reelect her.
I hope she will be primaried and lose “bigly.” Bad for her state and bad for the country. If she loses in the primary and runs another write in, I think she will lose this time. We can’t trust the US to fake Republicans.
If she gets relected then shame on the people for being Unamerican ,lazy and useless! The stupidity roaming through America is disgusting. This woman is not the people. Democrats control her. Check her bank accounts. Will see big payoff checks!
The Republican Senatorial Committee needs to stop helping these RINOs and boot them out of the party. Every last one of them should be told “NO MORE HELP FROM US”. You are finished. KAPUT!!!!!!!! Until they clean house, donors should stop all donations.
I agree
Commie pig
Make promises today, get elected, and renege tomorrow….This girl is a RINO!
Hope she loses Race Hooray
That bastard has put Americans in jeopardy and hardship by voting with the Democrats to mess this country up. Do not vote to elect her Alaska. She is not fit to make any decision for dear Alaskans.
Really, how far does she think she will get?
