Former President Trump mocked the election chances of Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), two Republican lawmakers who voted in favor of impeaching and convicting him over a charge that he incited the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
Trump on Wednesday said in a statement that Murkowski wavering on whether she would seek reelection in 2022 was "great news for the Republican Party!"
"Senator Lisa Murkowski said she is 'still weighing whether she will run again' for the Senate in Alaska. In other words, there is a chance that she won't run! Wouldn't that be great?" Trump said.
Murkowski was one of seven Senate Republicans who voted in favor of convicting Trump on the impeachment charge, of which he was ultimately acquitted.

(7,849 posts)becoming more irrelevant by the day..his screeching "Lisa" tirades make her look almost angelic and a trump endorsement has been something of a kiss of death and Murkowski knows it...

(3,401 posts)I do think that standing against him is the best plan and the honorable one, but honor with long term strategy doesnt fair well against misinformation and propaganda.

(7,849 posts)I know 2022 is coming up fast but Trump, as an exiled mad despot, will forever be tied to January 6...his tedious lies, threats, name-calling may appeal to his disenfranchised sycophants and FOX loyalists but very few others...Cheney and Murkowski are from old mainline Republican political families...they know how to play the game.... and Joe is proving to be a very popular president so any alliance with Joe and his policies is a win for them...
