RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski just got a big challenger for 2028, which admittedly is still a ways off, but very important nonetheless.
What’s really important is that her reelection will be during a presidential cycle, so when she gets challenged by Governor Mike Dunleavy, she could absolutely lose. And we hope she does.
Here’s more from Fox News:
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy is primed to announce a 2028 run for U.S. Senate against Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the Republican legislator who repeatedly has clashed with President Donald Trump, according to several sources familiar with the situation or close to the governor.
“He’s not going to quit his term,” a top source close to Dunleavy who used to work with him in Juneau, Alaska, told Fox News Digital of the governor’s long-term plans. The next Senate race in the Last Frontier falls in 2026 for incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan.
The last governor to resign to run for higher office — 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin — “never recovered,” the source said.
Dunleavy “cares deeply about and wants Alaska to succeed,” the source said, adding the governor recently quipped that he can’t understand why people would want to “live with all this concrete” in Washington and not in the verdant Arctic as one reason the Pennsylvania-born Republican likes to otherwise avoid the East Coast.
“But he knows that (being in Washington) is the only way to get things done,” the source said, adding that Dunleavy was the second governor to endorse Trump in 2016 and that a top member of the White House staff said he visits more than any other governor despite a 3,500-mile trek.
“He’s not about an ego and pushing himself in front of the cameras. He gets stuff done. … He’s not like, ‘Please put me on this committee’ or ‘I have to attend this ball’. He doesn’t like those types of things,” the source added.
“Trump has talked to him before about running and wants him to run.”
Dunleavy was notably present at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, when Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin Aug. 15.
“A lot of people have mentioned this (race) to him and … I think it is a very viable option for him,” the source said.
“Obviously there are a lot of frustrations with Sen. Murkowski,” he said, adding that the disparity in Trump’s relationship between the two Alaskans is “no secret.”
“Gov. Dunleavy has been not only a successful governor, but a pretty strong ally for him. So, it’s only natural that he’d be hearing that from Alaskans — but also from folks in the broader MAGA movement.”
