28. She's not up for re-election this year

Her last election was in 2016.

The funny thing about Murkowski is that most Republicans in Alaska can’t stand her. She lost the Republican primary in 2010, only to win re-election as a write-in candidate. Independents and Democrats are her voters. If she switched parties to unaffiliated, I don’t think she’d lose any support she already has.
