A new political clash may soon emerge in Alaska as Governor Mike Dunleavy—a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump—is reportedly preparing to run for the U.S. Senate in 2028.
According to multiple sources close to the governor, Dunleavy has quietly begun laying the groundwork for a campaign to challenge incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a moderate Republican who has frequently broken ranks with Trump and his supporters.
If confirmed, the matchup would pit two of Alaska’s most influential political figures against each other in what could become one of the most closely watched Republican primaries in the country.
