Cheney, Murkowski opposed Trump but face divergent primaries | Rush Hour

Two Republican candidates who have spoken out against former President Donald Trump are faring differently among voters heading into Tuesday’s primary elections in their home states.

U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) each have positioned themselves against Trump to some degree. But while support for Cheney continues to fall, Murkowski’s approval ratings are climbing.

Cheney, vice chair of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, has accused the former president of “preying on (Americans’) patriotism” and turning “their love of country into a weapon.”
