U.S. Sen. Murkowski, Trump-backed opponent secure enough votes to face off in November

Summary by Ground News

Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski and challenger Kelly Tshibaka will face off in November. Murkowski, who has held the seat since 2003 and won with a write-in campaign in 2010 after losing the Republican nomination, is a moderate whose votes Democrats often court. The primary was seen as a test for former President Trump’s endorsement. Trump backed Murkowski’s primary challenger Kelly Tschibaka in the wake of Murkowski’s vote to convict him in his second impeachment trial.
