Governor Mike Dunleavy (R-AK) accepted former President Donald Trump’s endorsement on Thursday, seemingly agreeing with Trump’s ultimatum that he does not support Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in her bid for re-election.
On Tuesday, Trump said Dunleavy “has a Complete and Total Endorsement but, this endorsement is subject to his non-endorsement of Senator Lisa Murkowski which has been very bad for Alaska.”
Trump, Thursday night, then sent out a statement praising Dunleavy, criticizing Murkowski and making public Dunleavy’s acceptance of Trump’s conditional endorsement.
“Please tell the president thank you for the endorsement,” Dunleavy apparently said in a message to Trump. “On another issue, please tell the president that he has nothing to worry about. I appreciate all that 45 has done for Alaska and this country.”
Trump added:
This is why Mike Dunleavy of Alaska has been, and will be, a great Governor. He had courage in his beliefs. Lisa Murkowski is the “disaster from Alaska” who single-handedly passed ANWR, one of the largest energy areas in the world, and an incredible economic growth opportunity for the Great State of Alaska!
Trump systematically endorses the opponents of Republicans who oppose him, especially those who voted to impeach and condemn him.
In February, Murkowski was one of seven Republican Senators who voted to convict the former president for his role in inciting the insurgency on Jan. 6. Trump endorsed Murkowski’s main opponent Kelly Tshibaka in June.
