August marks a busy month in Alaska, with many people – whether strangers to the state or not – on personal visits. The state is also primed for business trips during the summer season, including stops by multiple members of the Biden administration in 2023, with a lengthy list of them arriving in Alaska over the course of several weeks.
”We want them to see the challenges,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, “but we also want them to see the opportunities.”
”It’s one thing to be in Anchorage and to have others come in and share the story, share the situations,” she said. “It’s another thing to fly out, and to be in a community where you realize that, if the weather shuts in, and there’s no way that Troopers can get into the village, no way that outside law enforcement can come in... You are exposed; there is a vulnerability. So for him to be able to see it, on the ground, is really important.
The series of visits from administrative officials isn’t necessarily unusual, but it does come at a crucial time: the Arctic and Alaska itself are becoming more and more strategically important for the United States; the two-year anniversary of the five-year Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is coming up; and much of the nation is already looking at the 2024 presidential election, and what it could mean for the country.
Murkowski emphasized Monday that she stands by what she’s said about a potential rematch between Pres. Joe Biden and Fmr. Pres. Donald Trump – the latter of whom has gone through impeachment proceedings twice and was recently hit with his fourth criminal indictment between the federal and state levels – and that a presidential contest between those two isn’t something she is keen to see.
If the presidential race does come down to Biden and Trump, Murkowski said she would support Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a steadfast ally of Murkowski’s and someone who has clearly thought about a presidential run, though he has not yet committed to that.
