Senator Lisa Murkowski endorses Rep. Mary Peltola for reelection in AK at large.

Hopefully, she would also make a more definitive announcement at the Presidential race but the article says she won’t.

If only we could convince Senator Murkowski to at least switch to Independent.........

Either way, Murkowski is going to be a key swing vote for Democrats in the Senate regardless of whether the party holds on to the Senate or not.

The best shot at that is if we have a 51-49 Republican Senate and they nominate a far-right/difficult-to-be-around human being like Scott or Cruz for majority leader. Murkowski really seems to dislike Schumer though.

What's she said that demonstrates a dislike for Schumer?

I've seen nothing to indicate that. Body language when being in the same room as him, maybe?

I can't find a direct quote off hand but my understanding is she is not a fan of him. I could be misremembering though.

The rumors that Rick Scott and Ted Cruz are human beings are greatly exaggerated.
