In her memoir "Far from Home," Lisa Murkowski reflects on her tenure as a Republican senator and her stances against former President Trump. She recalls significant moments, including John McCain's pivotal vote against repealing the Affordable Care Act, where she stood alongside him and fellow senator Susan Collins. Murkowski emphasizes her unique perspective as an Alaskan politician in the face of evolving right-wing politics and recounts voters' loyalty to Trump, despite her decision to support moderate candidates like John Kasich in past elections.
About halfway through her fourth full term representing the largest state in the union, Murkowski has chosen this moment to release a memoir documenting her years as a politically moderate politician who repeatedly stood up to the president that transformed modern rightwing politics in the United States.
Susan and I did smile wryly about the laurels he received for that one vote which came only after the two of us had already taken the heat for many days for standing up against the party on our own, Murkowski writes.
There's a good case to be made that Murkowski, and Alaskans at large, have a unique perspective when it comes to the political changes he has wrought.
Its voters backed Trump three times straight, but Murkowski refrained in her memoir, she reveals that in 2016, she wrote in Ohio's Republican governor John Kasich, a fellow moderate.
