From Fox News: Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, called the prospect of caucusing with Democrats an “interesting hypothetical,” but she fell short of fully committing to doing so if the Democrats pick up three seats in the 2027 midterms.
“It’s an interesting hypothetical,” Murkowski said on the “GD Politics” podcast with Galen Druke. “You started off with the right hook here, is if this would help Alaskans.”
The senator is promoting her new book, a memoir titled, “Far From Home.” She was repeatedly asked if she would caucus with Democrats if the party divide in the upper chamber of Congress becomes 50-50 after the next election.
“That’s why this book is kind of scary, because now people know what motivates me, and it’s this love for Alaska and what I can do,” she said. “So, that’s my primary goal. I have to figure out how I can be most effective for the people that I serve.”
Murkowski said the “problem” she had with Druke’s hypothetical was that “as challenged as we may be on the Republican side, I don’t see the Democrats being much better.”
“Is there world in which by becoming unaligned or an independent that you could help Alaskans, you’d consider it?” Druke asked
“There may be that possibility,” Murkowski replied.
Druke continued to press Murkowski for an answer, and she continued to dodge.
“It is a different way of looking at addressing our problems rather than just saying it’s red and it’s blue,” she said at one point.
“Was that a yes? There’s some openness to it?” Druke pounced.
“There’s some openness to exploring something different than the status quo,” she responded.

Although she often votes against President Trump, Murkowski did commend the president for authorizing the airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“President Trump’s decision to carry out focused strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure makes clear that the international community will not tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran. I commend all those who executed this mission with precision and professionalism,” she wrote.
