MURKOWSKI issues a scorching statement on why she voted to convict Trump

Worth reading to the kicker.

Also notable that Murkowski is the only senator up in 2022 to vote to convict.
(A lot easier to go against Trump when you aren’t up until 2026.)

Murkowski, of course, has a unique electoral profile. A pro-Roe Republican, she lost her 2010 primary and then won *as a write-in* on strength of Dem, Independent and crossover appeal.

In 2016, her electorate again was mostly independents, Democrats, moderate Rs.

Alaska’s voting system looks like the kind of thing that encourages moderation, unlike, say, gerrymandering, etc. https://twitter.com/jessicataylor/status/1360734589803708420

Murkowski had a different answer a year ago https://twitter.com/steventdennis/status/1223441331663654912
