Questioning her future with the Republican Party, Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski said Donald Trump should resign from the presidency immediately for his role in stoking domestic terrorism, the Anchorage Daily News reports.

“I want him to resign. I want him out. He has caused enough damage,” Murkowski said in an interview.  “I think he should leave. He said he’s not going to show up. He’s not going to appear at the inauguration. He hasn’t been focused on what is going on with COVID. He’s either been golfing or he’s been inside the Oval Office fuming and throwing every single person who has been loyal and faithful to him under the bus, starting with the vice president. He doesn’t want to stay there. He only wants to stay there for the title. He only wants to stay there for his ego. He needs to get out. He needs to do the good thing, but I don’t think he’s capable of doing a good thing,”

Murkowski also questioned her own role within the Republican Party, given that Republicans have proven themselves to be a lot dedicated to Trump, not conservative ideals. 

“Well, you know, there’s a lot of people who actually thought that I [became an Independent] that in 2010, think that I became an independent. I didn’t have any reason to leave my party in 2010. I was a Republican who ran a write-in campaign and I was successful. But I will tell you, 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.

Murkowski voted to acquit Trump in the 2020 impeachment hearings when the charges were brought before the Senate in February.
