WASHINGTON – Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Friday that President Donald Trump should resign, making her the first Republican senator to say he should leave office as backlash grows against his goading of violent supporters who stormed the Capitol. “I want him to resign.
I want him out. He has caused enough damage,” Murkowski told the Anchorage Daily News.Murkowski told the newspaper that if the GOP doesn’t cut ties with Trump, she might leave the party. “If the Republican Party has become nothing more than the party of Trump, I sincerely question whether this is the party for me,” she said.The four-term senator is one of Congress' more moderate Republicans and has long had a fraught relationship with her party.
