Trump endorses Murkowski challenger

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Kelly Tshibaka, a former Alaska Department of Administration commissioner seeking to unseat GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski | AP Photo/Mark ThiessenFormer President Donald Trump officially endorsed a Republican challenger to Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Friday, escalating his campaign against the longtime GOP senator who voted to convict him following his impeachment trial earlier this year.

Trump also said that he looked forward to campaigning for Tshibaka in Alaska. Tshibaka launched her bid in March andTrump has already backed several Republicans in open races where GOP senators are retiring. But this marks his first endorsement of a candidate seeking to unseat a sitting Republican senator. It could cause a headache for Republicans seeking to win back the Senate majority.

A spokesperson for the National Republican Senatorial Committee did not comment but pointed to the committee's previous endorsement of Murkowski. Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, also endorsed Murkowski in April. A spokesperson for Murkowski did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

NO. Really? Our Trump? In Charge of Now This…

She *fits* his preferred profile.

Is she one of those crazy Qanon?!

She's blond with big boobs. Trump loves blonds with bodacious tata's

F this. Talk about the forensic audits! Sleepy JoeBiden might have gotten 30 million votes

Large breasted bleached blonde wearing tight clothes - just his type!

Lindsey Graham in drag👍

Murkowski voted with Republicans on every piece of legislation Trump wanted. Murkowski survived a tea party challenger before, she'll win again and put Trump in his place.

Chewbacca

No harm in that, but if she loses then you have to throw weight behind Murkowski or whoever wins. To do otherwise would be self destructive and no legacy. jsolomonReports

Fresh from fox?

Was she blond before the endorsement? 🙄

As an Alaskan, I’m not a big fan of Murkowski, but this challenger scares the crap out of me.

Which means she'll lose..well done!!

I’m sure Trump did a great deal of research on both candidates

She could make me write bad checks. 👍

Trump is no longer relevant

I gotta be thinkin' these folks can't decide whether Trump's endorsement is a good thing or a bad thing. Oh well, Trump will take that chance for them. They need not worry.

I can see why Trump endorsed her, but qualifying for a job at Hooters doesn't usually qualify one for a job in Congress.

A fake blond naturally.

The clone sister of Amy Coney Barrett.

Oh, I bet he'd like to support her. Right in the wazzooo.

He only endorsed her because of her looks.

Well, any candidate Trump supports, I go the other way. Support Lisa Murkowski.

I guess Murkowski is a sure thing to get re-elected now.
