Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, has him eyeing the state's gubernatorial race. Trump on Tuesday endorsed Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, who is running for reelection. The former president's support, however, has one condition — don’t back Murkowski. "Alaska needs Mike Dunleavy as Governor now more than ever," Trump said in a  statement . "He has my Complete and Total Endorsement but, this endorsement is subject to his non-endorsement of Senator Lisa Murkowski who has been very bad for Alaska. "In other words, if Mike endorses her, which is his prerogative, my endorsement of him is null and void, and of no further force or effect!" Murkowski was 1 of 7 Republican senators who voted to convict Trump of inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

(Alex Wong/Getty Images) Two judges appointed by former President Donald Trump are rejecting claims being made by Jan. 6 defendants that they are being treated more unfairly because of their conservative views than how left-leaning protesters from the 2020 riots in Portland, Oregon, had been handled. Federal Judge Trevor McFadden, a judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, on Tuesday said the Jan. 6 defendants didn't have enough evidence that shows discrimination, reports  CNN . Last week, Judge Carl Nichols, also appointed to the federal court in D.C. by Trump, made a similar ruling.  In McFadden's ruling, Jan. 6 defendant David Lee Judd had asked that the judge examine Justice Department records about prosecution decisions in the Portland cases, and claimed that he had been treated unfairly compared to those cases.

In an interview Monday the billionaire was asked about the V.P’s comments. When she asserted that “business is booming” and that the ports are open “24-seven”.
