Alaska senator Lisa Murkowski, a notoriously liberal Republican who voted to remove former President Donald Trump from office, may meet her match after a curious comment by former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
Murkowski has defeated past attempts by conservatives to oust her, including a historic win as a write-in independent, and still favored by many to turn back a Trump-endorsed Republican challenger.
But all that could change after a curious comment by Palin.
During a question-and-answer session at Christian ministry conference, Palin was asked if she would consider jumping into the Republican primary race against Murkowski.
“If God wants me to do it I will,” said Palin.
“I would say you guys better be there for me this time because a lot of people were not there for me last time,” Palin added, noting that some conservatives and many establishment Republicans didn’t defend her against ruthless attacks from the media and liberal activists.
Palin said she would run if Alaskans asked her and noted a “female Republican” was already running against Murkowksi, but most voters “never heard of her.”
Palin was referring to Alaska Department of Administration commissioner Kelly Tshibaka, who was endorsed by Trump but has not emerged as a clear favorite. Several Trump-endorsed candidates have lost Republican primaries despite the former President’s backing, including just a week ago when Susan Wright was defeated in her attempt to succeed her late husband, Texas Congressman Ron Wright, for that vacant seat.
Palin would be a strong contender against the powerful Murkowski, whose father Frank held the Senate seat for two decades before becoming Alaska governor, until his defeat in a Republican primary by Murkowski.

I LOVE Sarah!
Palin is a great replacement and Murkowski should change her voter Di to DNC
Go Sarah Go needed now more than ever
She would be a great addition to the Senate.
At least she’s conservative.
Lisa M needs to go yesterday. She just needs to go away from DC and into the wilderness not to be heard from again regarding politics.
I have always liked Sarah and think she is a true American needed in Congress. Her biggest roadblock will be RINOS, Socialist Democrats, and the various Communist news agencies in the US, and the lies will begin soon.
I would love to see Sarah P. run against Lisa Murkowski. I would love to see her win also. She would make a good Republican Senator from Alaska, or anywhere for that matter!
Palin would be an EXCELLENT replacement for the RINO senator from Alaska! Not only is she a rational conservative, I believe she has good ideas of her own for running the politics of the country. In addition (and most importantly) she is NOT a member of the swamp. Too bad we don’t have more of her kind running against some of the Democrat senators no in the congress.
You betcha! I like Sarah Palin, I believe she would be a great voice for the Alaskan people. Murkowski is definitely a RINO. If anything she’s a Socialist. Time for her to go.
TIME FOR RHINO’S TO GO……….
I went to the Mendenhall glacier in 1966. We took a tracked vehicle to a hole that was 900 feet deep. Perfect place to drop off Murkowski!
Murkowski is a self serving hate filled traitor to both her alleged party and this country
Go Sarah
Ok, Murkowski, put your head between your legs and kiss your a@@ goodbye.
I voted for John McCain because of Sarah!
RUN SARAH RUN YOU WILL WIN!
We need to get rid of ALL REPUBLICAN RINO’S!
P.S. Sarah Palin……………. Ist class, loves Alaska and her people! America needs friends like Sarah, who have made Alaskan’s richer, and made America an oil tycoon !
Sarah is the answer! Farewell to Mirkwood-ski, benighted forest of the Necromancer.
Palin needs to learn to defend herself as TRUMP does.
