So on to the General election for Murkowski, despite Trump's best efforts:

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski advanced in a crowded open primary for her Senate seat in a contest that pitted the centrist Republican against a Trump-backed challenger.
Vexed by Murkowski's vote to convict him during his second impeachment trial, former President Donald Trump threw his weight behind Kelly Tshibaka. With 50% of precincts reporting, Murkowski topped Tshibaka in the open primary by about 1,500 votes. The top four finishers will advance to the general election due to recent changes to Alaska's voting laws, enabling the incumbent senator to advance to the general.

I was surprised Murkowski did so well. Trump would open up ANWR to drilling keeping AKs profit sharing checks flowing.
Palin advances to the November election as well.

There's only 60% of the vote counted, so I'm not sure Murkowski will finish on top.

Ranked choice voting....A incumbent's wet dream.

She was behind this “rank voting” change….I hope she goes down in flames…

Murkowski, for reasons I do not know, fell for the MSM/DNC fibbies to take out Trump who was just in their way of trying to make America Communist, then send in the new KGB to kill all dissenters since Democrats have no use for the money being routed back to other Americans in times of need--hurricanes, volanoes, tornados, earthquakes, and floods. This is a big land, and we take turns with natural disasters and do not need criminals roaming freely. unfortunately, lately criminal racists have burned down small businesses, killed and maimed cops, burned police equipment and several precinct buildings where police start their day, go to their beats, and keep people safe as they can by answering calls for help by people experiencing terrorism, exploitation, burglars, and many other awful things. Frequently, police comfort people who've had the loss of a loved ones at criminal hands.

It's been politically messy for several months now.
