Murkowski says she has thought about switching to Democratic caucus
- Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said on Monday she is leaving all options open for her political future, including possibly leaving the Republican Party or caucusing with Democrats.
- Her openness follows questions about a 50-50 Senate split next year if Democrats gain three seats and whether she might caucus with them to advance Alaskans' interests.
- Murkowski, who has served since 2002 and has clashed with Trump, emphasized she disagrees with some policies in both parties and focuses on helping her constituents rather than partisan politics.
- She acknowledged that such a possibility exists and indicated a willingness to consider alternatives to the current political alignment, while avoiding a clear response about changing party affiliation.
- This stance could influence Senate control after the 2026 elections, where 33 seats are contested, reflecting ongoing shifts in Senate alignment and partisan dynamics.
