Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is endorsing Nikki Haley for president.
On March 1, ahead of the Super Tuesday voting in 15 states, including The Last Frontier, Ms. Murkowski formally endorsed the former U.N. Ambassador. It’s Ms. Haley’s first endorsement in the Senate.
In a release, Ms. Murkowski said the country needs “someone with the right values, vigor, and judgment” to serve as the next president.
“In this race, there is no one better than her,” Ms. Murkowksi said. “Nikki will be a strong leader and uphold the ideals of the Republican Party while serving as a president for all Americans.”
In her statement, Ms. Haley said Ms. Murkowski represents the “best of Alaska.”
“She is a trailblazer and a strong, independent voice who doesn’t bow down to the powers that be in Washington,” Ms. Haley said. “As president, I will fight to make Alaskans—and all Americans—proud by restoring fiscal sanity, energy dominance, and limited government.”
Ms. Haley heads into Super Tuesday and the March 2 caucuses in Michigan, Missouri, and Idaho, running far behind former President Donald Trump, who has won nearly every contest held in 2024. The only time he didn’t win, in Nevada, was when his name was not on the ballot. Ms. Haley still didn’t prevail, with the Silver State’s voters picking “None of These Candidates” rather than the former South Carolina governor.
Most of the Republican membership of the upper house is standing behind President Trump, including Ms. Murkowski’s colleague Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska). In the House, only Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) has endorsed Ms. Haley.
Ms. Murkowski, who’s served in the Senate since 2002, is considered one of the most moderate members of her party and is often a swing voter.
In spite of her poor returns at the ballot box, Ms. Haley has vowed to continue her run. She has also said she will stay in the race at least through the March 5 Super Tuesday primary, when 15 states vote. The Epoch Times previously reported if Ms. Haley doesn’t start winning primaries soon, she will not be able to secure the necessary delegates to win the nomination at the Republican National Convention in July.
Ms. Haley is also successfully raising money to finance her campaign. On March 1, the campaign announced it had raised $12 million in February through “three of her campaign committees.”
In January, according to the limited picture presented by Federal Election Commission filings, Ms. Haley outraised President Trump. She continues to benefit from donors who oppose the former president.
In a statement, Olivia Perez-Cubas, a spokeswoman for Nikki Haley for President, said the fundraising haul from grassroots donors shows many Republicans still reject President Trump.
“A substantial portion of Republicans … are rallying around Nikki Haley’s conservative message, sending small-dollar contributions with handwritten messages, and showing up in droves as she travels across the Super Tuesday states,“ Ms. Perez-Cubas said in a statement. ”Like Nikki, they believe America is worth fighting for.”
““In this race, there is no one better than her,” Ms. Murkowksi said. “Nikki will be a strong leader and uphold the ideals of the Republican Party while serving as a president for all Americans.” Yep, Lisa, Nikki will uphold the ideals of the RINO Republican Party (the ideals of supporting the Democrat communist party). In other words, Nikki is a swamp creature just like you, Ms. Murkowski!!!!!!
Haley and Murkowski, two fit replacements for the Liz Cheney award, in the RINO realm of Trump haters, who like Cheney go down when Trump exposes who they really are, and the rotten establishment they adhere to. Business as usual, with the same old establishment finance owned party hacks in charge, is no longer an American option. If you want to know just how “Independent” they are, just look at who is financing their campaigns. Allowing deceptive crossover democrat funded pretenders to beat Trump in the primaries, only to vote for Biden in the final election may be the RINO definition of collegial co-party cooperation by well-heeled RINOs whose power is in jeopardy, but you still get left with the same old same old power brokers controlling the American finances and power that belongs to THE PEOPLE, with the millstones of generational Trillions of dollars in debt, still hung about the necks of WE the deluded PEOPLE taxpayers they fleece, to make honest citizens poor again, again, and again. The fortunes of both Haley and Murkowski have risen, following their Republican power divisions, with the Democrats laughing all the way to the bank where they deposit their socially redistributed filthy laundered lucre.
Rinos gonna like fellow rinos..
Judging by the looks of her, she’s really a liberal Democrat. She acts like one too.
Which is why i can’t understand HOW THE So called conservative voters in Alaska, pushed for HER rather than Palin!!
