Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is in the process of deciding whether or not she is going to run for a fourth term in the Senate, and former President Donald Trump has something to say about it.

During Trump’s second impeachment trial stemmed from the Capitol attack in January, Murkowski was one of the seven Republicans in the Senate who voted in favor of impeaching Trump.

“If I can’t say what I believe that our president should stand for, then why should I ask Alaskans to stand with me?” Murkowski said at the time of the trial.

On Wednesday, Cheney announced that she would not be supporting Trump if he decides to run in 2024.
