Trump Endorses Alaska Governor Dunleavy With A Caveat!

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Alaskan Governor Dunleavy’s run for reelection. But it comes with a caveat.

In a statement made from his Save America PAC, Trump said Dunleavy was a “strong and consistent Conservative.” Additionally, Trump mentioned Dunleavy’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his support of the Constitution, especially the Second and Tenth Amendments.

“Mike Dunleavy has been a strong and consistent Conservative since his time in the Alaska State Senate. I was proud to endorse his first run for Governor, and I am proud to support his reelection, too. From his handling of the virus, support of the Constitution — including the Second and Tenth Amendments—taking advantage of all the opportunities Alaska has to offer, and his strong pushback against the Liberal Biden Administration’s attempt to hurt our great Country,” Trump said in the statement.

Trump’s endorsement, however, comes with a surprising twist. Mike Dunleavy will only retain Trump’s full support—on the condition he will not endorse Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski for her reelection bid. 

Early last January, Senator Murkowski became the first Senate Republican to call on then-President Donald Trump to resign after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Murkowski also voted to convict Trump in his Senate impeachment trial.
