Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has officially endorsed former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley for President, marking Haley's first endorsement from a sitting senator in the current presidential cycle. Murkowski, a moderate Republican and frequent critic of former President Trump, praised Haley for having the 'right values, vigor, and judgment' to lead the nation. This endorsement comes as a significant boost for Haley, who insists she is not "anti-Trump" despite her critical rhetoric towards the former president. Murkowski's support is particularly noteworthy given her recent victory over a Trump-backed challenger in Alaska.
