The veteran Alaska Republican, one of seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial amid the aftermath of January 6, 2021, is done with the former president and said she absolutely would not vote for him.

I wish that as Republicans, we had a nominee that I could get behind, Murkowski told CNN. I certainly cant get behind Donald Trump.

The partys shift toward Trump has caused Murkowski to consider her future within the GOP. In the interview, she would not say if she would remain a Republican.

Asked if she would become an independent, Murkowski said: Oh, I think Im very independent minded. And she added: I just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of Donald Trump.

Pressed on if that meant she might become an independent, Murkowski said: I am navigating my way through some very interesting political times. Lets just leave it at that.
