ET and 11 a.m. ET.Sen. Lisa Murkowski, aghast at Donald Trump’s candidacy and the direction of her party, won’t rule out bolting from the GOP.
“I wish that as Republicans, we had … a nominee that I could get behind,” Murkowski told CNN.
“I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.”The party’s shift toward Trump has caused Murkowski to consider her future within the GOP.
As the tea party rose in 2010, Murkowski was at sharp odds with the insurgent right-wing of her party.
In the 2024 cycle, Murkowski – along with Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine – offered a late endorsement of former South Carolina Gov.
