In the early days of President Donald Trump's second term, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski has openly challenged or rebuked him at least three times — stunning for a congressional Republican who has faced his wrath before and yet remains unbowed by pressure to embrace his agenda.

A defining duo of the first Donald Trump administration is back.

U.S. Sen Lisa Murkowski was alone in stridently opposing Trump’s blanket pardon for Jan. 6 defendants, and his order to rename Denali as Mount McKinley.

Donald Trump scored a big win in Washington and visited North Carolina, California and Nevada on first trip since beginning his second term.

Lisa Murkowski announced Thursday that she will vote against confirming Pete Hegseth to lead Pentagon, becoming the first Republican to oppose one of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski is opposing the nomination of Pete Hegseth to be President Donald Trump's Defense secretary.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is muscling Pete Hegseth’s nomination as defense secretary toward confirmation Friday, prioritizing his vow to create a “warrior culture” at the Pentagon over allegations of heavy drinking and aggressive behavior toward women.

A Princeton and Harvard-educated former combat veteran, Hegseth went on to make a career at Fox News, where he hosted a weekend show. Trump tapped him as the defense secretary to lead an organization with nearly 2.1 million service members, about 780,000 civilians and a budget of $850 billion.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he wasn't expecting Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine) to vote against his controversial nominee for secretary of Defense, Army veteran and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth.

President Donald Trump said he was “surprised” that Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) voted to oppose Pete Hegseth’s defense secretary nomination.

Lisa Murkowski, the senior United States senator from Alaska, has held the seat since 2002. When will she be up for re-election? Here's what we know.

President Donald Trump, on a visit Friday to hurricane-ravaged western North Carolina, said he would condition aid to California following the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area, which he’s set to view later today.
