Alaska GOP censures Murkowski, says it will recruit primary challenger
Fox News
The Alaska Republican Party vows to "recruit" a challenger to Sen. Lisa Murkowski if she runs for reelection next year, but don't expect the Republican National Committee or the National Republican Senatorial Committee to join the effort against the state's senior senator.
On Tuesday, in the wake of Saturday's move by the Alaska GOP to censure Murkowski and recruit a primary challenger against the longtime senator, an RNC official reiterated that the party committee remains neutral in Republican primaries. NRSC chair Sen. Rick Scott of Florida has repeatedly said the Senate Republican reelection committee will support incumbent senators running for reelection in next year’s midterms, when the GOP needs a net gain of just one seat to win back the majority in the chamber it lost in the 2020 election cycle.More Related News
