Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, didn't rule out becoming an independent during an interview and expressed regret that the GOP was 'seemingly becoming a party of Donald Trump.' Murkowski, who voted to convict Trump during his second impeachment trial in 2021, told CNN's Manu Raju she was navigating 'interesting political times,' and would not say she would remain a member of the GOP.
She has served in the Senate since 2002, when she was appointed to the seat by her father, then Gov. Frank Murkowski.
