Description | Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski conceded her Senate primary race Tuesday to a political newcomer backed by former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Murkowski made the concession speech Tuesday night, a full week after the primary.
Murkowski trailed Joe Miller, an attorney, by 1,668 votes after last week's primary. Election officials began counting absentee and outstanding ballots Tuesday. Murkowski made slight gains but was never able to get Miller's lead below 1,200 votes.
She said she informed Miller shortly before making the announcement on live television. |
