Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) has reiterated her stance that she won’t be supporting former President Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 election.
In a March 24 interview with CNN, the senator expressed regret that former President Trump was the likely GOP nominee and made it very clear he couldn’t count on her support going forward. Previously, she said in media interviews that she couldn’t vote for Mr. Trump or President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
“I wish that as Republicans, we had a nominee that I could get behind. I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump,” Ms. Murkowski said.
“I don’t think that it can be defended; what happened on Jan. 6 was an effort by people who stormed a building in an effort to stop an election,” she added.
Ms. Murkowski was among seven Republican senators who voted to convict Mr. Trump in his second impeachment trial after some people rioted and breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Many others were there to peacefully protest for Congress to hear claims from the slates of alternate electors. Former president Trump has not been convicted of any crime in connection with the riots.
