another Trump loser...

Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski wins reelection

Lisa Murkowski — one of few Republicans willing to break party ranks — won Alaska’s U.S. Senate race on Wednesday, fending off a challenge from Kelly Tshibaka, a right-wing Republican backed by Trump.

Murkowski earned over 43% of first choice votes. Tshibaka, a former commissioner of the Alaska Department of Administration, earned under 43%, trailing the incumbent by just over 2,000 votes. Democrat Pat Chesbro, a retired educator, earned 10%. Republican Buzz Kelley had 3%.

After ranked choice votes were tabulated on Wednesday afternoon, Murkowski emerged with 53.7% of votes ahead of Tshibaka’s 46.3%. More than two-thirds of Chesbro’s voters ranked Murkowski second.

The race was widely seen as a referendum on Trump and his grip on the Republican Party. Murkowski was censured by the Alaska GOP leadership, which endorsed Tshibaka, after the senator voted to impeach Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Rep. Mary Peltola wins Alaska’s U.S. House race

Mary Peltola, a Democrat and the first Alaska Native elected to Congress, on Wednesday won reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives. She will now serve a full two-year term after she prevailed in an August special election to carry out the final months of a term previously held by Rep. Don Young.

Young died in March, triggering a months-long race shaped by the question of who would succeed the 49-year Republican congressman. Peltola, a former state lawmaker from Bethel, emerged Wednesday as the state’s pick with nearly 49% of first-choice votes in the ranked-choice November election.

Following tabulation of ranked choice votes late Wednesday, Peltola had a clear victory over Republican former Gov. Sarah Palin in a 55%-45% split.

Peltola made Young’s legacy a key part of her campaign. During her brief stint in Congress before ramping up her campaign ahead of the November election, Peltola — whose parents campaigned and worked for Young — hired former staffers from the Republican’s office in a show of bipartisanship.
