Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal critics in the Senate GOP, said in a podcast on Monday that there are certain situations in which she’d consider becoming an independent and caucusing with Democrats.

“There may be that possibility,” she told Galen Druke in an interview excerpt of his GD Politics podcast, scheduled to post in full on Tuesday.

Druke asked Murkowski how she’d respond if Democrats won three seats in the 2026 midterm election, “and they say, we’re gonna let you pass bills that benefit Alaskans if you caucus with us.”

“You’ve started off with the right hook here, is ‘if this would help Alaskans,’” she told Druke.

Senator Thom Tillis just slipped a massive gift to Big Pharma, Big Tech, and woke corporations into the “Big Beautiful Bill.” His anti-litigation finance plan (S.1821) slaps a 41% tax on the very tool that helps ordinary Americans fight back in court.

This bill protects elites and punishes whistleblowers, inventors, and retirees. It’s a corporate shield dressed up as reform.

This is not good legislation. Strip it from the bill @LeaderJohnThune
