Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, indicated that she's not wedded to the Republican label, but noted that she has never abandoned it. Murkowski, who made the remarks at a conference for the No Labels group, claimed that she's 'more of a Ronald Reagan … Republican than I am a Trump Republican. And … some would say, well you're not really a Republican at all,' she noted. But the senator said 'you can call me whatever you want … I'm not attached to a label.
Earlier this year, Murkowski endorsed former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley during the GOP presidential primary.
