Sen. Lisa Murkowski celebrated her birthday in style on Wednesday. Students from Thorne Bay, Alaska, were in the nation’s capital and sang her “Happy Birthday,” along with Sen. Tim Scott, of South Carolina.
Scott has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate for Donald Trump. But Trump and Murkowski are sworn enemies. Murkowski has hinted she will leave the Republican Party if he is elected. Scott being caught in the middle of those two can only mean one thing: He won’t be the vice presidential nominee for Trump.
Murkowski was born May 22, 1957, making her now 67 years old. Born in Ketchikan three years before Statehood, she has spent the past 24 years in the U.S. Senate — more than one-third of her life as a senator. She is 14th in seniority in the Senate and her current term ends Jan, 3, 2029.
