Murkowski: I don't know how Trump could be elected again [View all]

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said on Wednesday that she couldn't imagine that President Trump would be elected again after voters see the details and new footage of the Capitol attack.

"I don't see how after the American public sees the full story laid out here ... I don't see how Donald Trump could be re-elected to the presidency again," Murkowski told reporters.

Murkowski's comments come as House impeachment managers are hours into their opening presentations.

On Wednesday, impeachment managers showed never-before-seen security footage of lawmakers evacuating the Capitol, rioters breaking into the building and close calls for Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).
