Libertarian vice presidential candidate Bill Weld says he supports Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski in her re-election bid in Alaska.
Weld is in Alaska on a two-day campaign trip. In an interview Friday, the former Massachusetts governor says he has worked with Murkowski and is impressed with her.
The Libertarian candidate for Senate in Alaska is Joe Miller. Miller changed his party affiliation from Republican in becoming a last-minute substitution on the Libertarian ticket last month.
Weld says he’s sure Miller is a fine person. But he says Miller is a “devoted social conservative” and Weld says he is a devoted social liberal. He says Miller doesn’t speak for him.
Miller has said he’s supporting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Murkowski hasn’t said who she’s voting for. She has said she can’t support Trump or Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
