I was proud to endorse his first run for Governor, and I am proud to support his reelection, too. From his handling of the virus, support of the Constitution \u2014 including the Second and Tenth Amendments\u2014taking advantage of all the opportunities Alaska has to offer, and his strong pushback against the Liberal Biden Administration\u2019s attempt to hurt our great Country,\u201d Trump said in the statement.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump said the endorsement is dependent on Dunleavy\u2019s non-endorsement of Murkowski, who Trump has constantly criticized. In early January, Murkowski became the first Senate Republican to call on then-President Donald Trump to resign after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Murkowski then voted to convict Trump in his Senate impeachment trial. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/30\/lisa-murkowski-first-republican-challenger-2022-kelly-tshibaka-alaska\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Sen.
