Any Dem that would come from Alaska is going to be pro gun. You take that because Peltola would have been a no vote on Medicaid cuts, supports abortion, and was pretty left on environmental issues. These leftists would rather have 100% of nothing instead of 90% of something because of their "principles." Murkowski becoming a Dem would be a huge win. It would get them one step closer to control of the senate and appointing committee chairs, but Murkowski would be another Manchin and stymie Dems more progressive agenda which will catch the ire of progressives. Speaking of Manchin, he would be a no on this vote. Don't realize what you had until it's gone.
