US Senator Lisa Murkowski regrets Donald Trump’s influence on the Republican Party and does not want to support him. “I’m navigating some very interesting political times. “Let’s just leave it at that,” she replied when asked if she could imagine becoming a non-party politician.
“I think it is a shame that our party seems to be becoming a party of Donald Trump,” said the 66-year-old senator from the American state of Alaska. There is “no way” she can support Trump.
As is known, Trump wants to run for the Republicans in the presidential elections in November. He certainly has the candidacy, but the presidential candidate will not be officially chosen until the summer.
Murkowski is considered quite moderate. She was one of seven Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in the Senate after the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. You cannot defend what happened then.
The former chairwoman of the Republican Party (RNC), Ronna McDaniel, also found surprisingly critical words in a TV interview last weekend. The storming of the Capitol was ‘unacceptable’.
He does not represent your party or the US. When asked why she had not found such critical words as party chair, McDaniel replied: “As RNC chair, you have to stand up for the entire team. Now I can be myself a little more.”
At the end of February, McDaniel and her co-chair resigned. Trump previously recommended his daughter-in-law Lara Trump for the post and criticized McDaniel’s work.
The majority of Republicans are firmly behind Trump
The open, critical words of Murkowski and McDaniel are striking. But they don’t change the fact that a majority of Republicans are firmly behind Trump. Critics of the 77-year-old have been expelled by the party. Liz Cheney, for example, lost her leadership role within the party and ultimately her seat in the House of Representatives.
