Alaska Democrats have hatched a plan to target Republicans like Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) for voting to pass President Donald Trump's budget bill on Tuesday.

"Following Murkowski selling out the people of Alaska to give billionaires another tax break, Democrats are holding vulnerable House Republicans and Senate Republicans accountable for supporting the Trump/Murkowski budget proposal," the advisory reads in part.

CNN reported Tuesday that Murkowski traded her support for the budget bill to secure a number of technical provisions in the bill.
