Trump's Least Favorite GOP Senator Survives Yet Again in Alaska

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) voted to convict Donald Trump at his impeachment trial after the Jan. 6 insurrection, she did so knowing full well that it could end her political career.

Less than two years later, Alaskans voted to send Murkowski back to Washington for a fourth six-year term: She defeated her Trump-backed rival, fellow Republican Kelly Tshibaka.

Under Alaska’s system of ranked choice voting, Murkowski won a majority of votes after supporters of Democratic candidate Pat Chesbro, who finished last, ranked the incumbent senator as their second choice.

That system, as well as Alaska’s elimination of a closed partisan primary, was instrumental in helping Murkowski weather a zealous Republican revolt not just over her vote to convict Trump but years of votes that have infuriated the conservative faithful—such as her opposition to repealing Obamacare and to confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

5. Do not expect Murkowski to make nice with Peltola next election cycle.

Republicans had no plan when Young died, and Mary squeaked in because this is our first go round with ranked choice voting.

Mistakes were made.

Next cycle, when there’s a legitimate Republican challenger, Murkowski will endorse them, not Mary. This woman is not your ally, she’s a self interested snake.

7. I mean, she's a Republican

I expect her to endorse a non-MAGA Republican candidate in the 2024 Alaska House race. I don't think that makes her a snake.
