Description"Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) on Monday said he's closer to being a Rockefeller Republican than a Pelosi Democrat.

"Probably a Rockefeller Republican," the Alaska senator told CNBC Monday morning when asked whether he was closer to identifying as that or as a Pelosi Democrat.

The comment signifies Begich's efforts to put some distance between himself and national Democrats in the libertarian-leaning state.

Begich, who's likely to face a tough reelection battle next year, later argued that Alaskans don't often fall into the traditional Republican or Democratic political spectrum."
