“I am navigating my way through some very interesting political times,” said the Alaska Republican.
“I wish that as Republicans, we had … a nominee that I could get behind,” Murkowski told CNN’s Manu Raju. “I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.” “Oh, I think I’m very independent-minded,” Murkowski said when asked whether she’d consider becoming one of a handful of independents in Congress.
In a number of major moments, Murkowski went against Trump’s wishes: she voted against his nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in 2018, supported Joe Biden’s nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson in 2022, and cast a ballot to impeach Trump for his conduct on January 6, 2021.
