BREAKING: Sen. LisaMurkowski wins Alaska Senate seat, defeating Trump-backed challenger
Murkowski is considered to be one of the more centrist Republican voices in Congress, and her win could help President Joe Biden pass his agenda as well as extend her clout in the closely divided Senate.
Murkowski has held the Alaska Senate seat since 1981. Before Murkowski, who was first elected in 2002, her father, Frank, had served as Alaska's Senate representative.Murkowski was one of seven Republican senators who crossed party lines to impeach Trump on charges related to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. She called on Trump to resign and also expressed doubt when asked if she would vote for him should he run for office again in 2024.
"Murkowski's opponent, Kelly Tshibaka, is a true 'America First' patriot who will never stab Alaska voters in the back," Trump told thousands of Alaskans attending the rally. Murkowski and Tshibaka were virtually tied in the polls leading up to Election Day. Democrat Patricia Chesbro and Republican Buzz Kelley came in a distant third and fourth.
