Senator Lisa Murkowski, known for her moderate stance and clashes with former President Trump, hinted at the possibility of leaving the Republican Party during interviews promoting her new book. In discussions, she acknowledged serious disagreement with both Democrats and certain GOP policies. Murkowski expressed openness to becoming an Independent if the GOP loses seats in the upcoming midterms. Despite her long-standing association with the party, she feels increasingly disconnected from its current direction, stating the MAGA movement is a "personality cult" that has caused division.
"I don't see the Democrats being much better, they've got not only their share of problems, but quite honestly, they've got some policies that I just inherently disagree with."
"There may be that possibility... There is some openness to exploring something different than the status quo."
"Do I feel that within my Republican conference, I always feel like I'm right here in my political home? No. There are sometimes directions and policies that I disagree with."
"The so-called MAGA movement is a personality cult that has ripped us apart."
