Sen. LisaĀ Murkowski, aghastĀ at Donald Trump’s candidacy and the direction of her party, won’t rule out bolting from the GOP.

The veteran Alaska Republican, one ofĀ seven Republicans who voted to convict TrumpĀ in his second impeachment trial amid the aftermath of January 6, 2021, is done with the former president and said she ā€œabsolutelyā€ wouldĀ not vote for him.

ā€œI wish thatĀ as Republicans, we had … a nominee that I could get behind,ā€ Murkowski told CNN. ā€œI certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.ā€

The party’s shift toward Trump has causedĀ MurkowskiĀ 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,Ā MurkowskiĀ said: ā€œOh, I think I’m very independent minded.ā€ And she added:Ā ā€œI just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of Donald Trump.ā€
