KODIAK — Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski says she hasn’t settled on which Republican presidential candidate she will support.
But Steve Wackowski, the GOP senator’s campaign manager, says Murkowski will not back a Democratic hopeful.
The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports that Murkowski said at a ComFish trade show forum Thursday in Kodiak that she’s against giving anyone nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court a hearing in the Senate until after the election.
She says she plans to meet with Judge Merrick Garland, who was nominated to the court last month, to see what Garland knows about Alaska and get his perspective on hot-button issues like Second Amendment rights.
