With four years to go on her term, Sen. Lisa Murkowski stated the opposite. She doesn’t feel comfortable as a Republican. โI’m not attached to a label, I’d rather be that โno label.โ I’d rather be that person that is just known for trying to do right by the state and the people that I serve, regardless of party, and I’m totally good and comfortable with that,โ Murkowski said during a discussion hosted by the centrist group No Labels at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington.”
Later on during the discussion, Murkowski clarified that she is โstill a Republicanโ and has โnever shed my party label.โ
โWeโve got a system in the Senate where there are two sides of the aisle, and I have to sit on one side, or I have to sit on the other,โ she added.
โI don’t think I’ve made any secret of the fact that I’m more of a Ronald Reagan Republican than I am a Trump Republican,โ she said Thursday. โAnd someone said, โWell, you arenโt really a Republican at all.โ And I said, โYou can call me whatever you want to call me.โโ
Democrats are counting on Murkowski and Susan Collins to stop most of Donald Trump’s nominees and agenda.
