JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) Alaska's two U.S. senators resigned leadership posts in the state Republican party after denouncing GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and saying he should step aside.
U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan voluntarily resigned over the weekend as honorary members of the party's state central committee, Murkowski campaign spokesman Robert Dillon said Tuesday.
Party officers are expected to back party candidates. Last month, several GOP officers resigned their posts to publicly back Republican-turned-Libertarian Joe Miller in his challenge to Murkowski in this fall's Senate race.

At least she will vote with dems 10 % of the time. Best we are going to get out of there.
