Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) is reconsidering her future in the Republican Party as the GOP move towards Donald Trump.
Murkowski told CNN on Sunday that the Republican Party is becoming the party of Trump and doesn’t rule out bolting from the GOP.
Asked if she would become an independent, Murkowski said, “I think I’m very independent minded,” adding, “I just regret that our party is seemingly becoming a party of Donald Trump.”
Press further Murkowski said: “I am navigating my way through some very interesting political times. Let’s just leave it at that.”
Murkowski and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) endorsed Trump’s GOP rival Nikki Haley in the primary contest. Haley has since dropped out of the race and the former president is the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee for president.
Murkowski said she “absolutely” would not vote for Trump.
“I wish that as Republicans, we had … a nominee that I could get behind,” she told CNN. “I certainly can’t get behind Donald Trump.”
