Donald Trump has endorsed Kelly Tshibaka for U.S. Senate in Alaska. Tshibaka is the challenger to RINO Republican Lisa Murkowski.
This endorsement is not exactly a surprise. Conservatives have been calling for someone to challenge Murkowski.
She sides with Democrats way too often and Republican voters are tired of it.
FOX News reports:
Trump endorses Murkowski primary opponent Kelly Tshibaka
Former President Donald Trump endorsed the primary opponent to Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Friday, declaring his support for Kelly Tshibaka Alaska’s former commissioner of administration.
“Lisa Murkowski is bad for Alaska. Her vote to confirm Biden’s Interior Secretary was a vote to kill long sought for, and approved, ANWR, and Alaska jobs,” Trump said in a statement. “Murkowski has got to go! Kelly Tshibaka is the candidate who can beat Murkowski—and she will. Kelly is a fighter who stands for Alaska values and America First. She is MAGA all the way, pro-energy, strong on the Border, tough on Crime and totally supports our Military and our great Vets.”
Murkowski, R-Alaska, is one of the senators who voted to convict Trump of inciting an insurrection in his impeachment trial over his alleged role in stoking the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Trump has said that he plans to get involved in 2022 GOP primary races, but his endorsement of Tshibaka is his first official endorsement of a primary challenger to an incumbent Republican senator. He’s only endorsed one primary challenger to a sitting House member, former aide Max Miller, who is challenging Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, R-Ohio.

She would be an improvement over Murkowski, that’s for sure.
