Murkowski drew Trump's wrath after calling on him to resign, then voting to impeach him after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Murkowski won the race with a coalition of support.

JUNEAU, Alaska — U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a moderate Republican, has twice withstood challenges from more conservative factions of her party; more than a decade ago, she mounted a historical write-in campaign to beat a tea party favorite, and this year she won reelection after inflaming the ire of former President Donald Trump.

Trump figured prominently in the race, especially after Murkowski both called on him to resign and then voted to impeach him after the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot. In 2020, before that year's election and before Tshibaka jumped into the Senate race, Trump announced plans to campaign against Murkowski following her criticism of him:"Get any candidate ready, good or bad, I don't care, I'm endorsing.

Many saw the new system as favorable to a candidate like Murkowski, who referred to coalition building in a campaign as"kind of my strong suit." The largest segment of registered voters in Alaska is independents. Before the 2020 election Trump said that he would campaign against Murkowski after she'd levied criticism against him. Her impeachment vote was a point of contention raised by Trump in campaigning for Tshibaka.
