(CNN) President Donald Trump said Saturday that Sen. Lisa Murkowski "will never recover" from the political consequences of opposing now-confirmed Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court, The Washington Post reported.

"I think she will never recover from this," Trump told the paper. "I think the people from Alaska will never forgive her for what she did."

Trump also predicted that if the Alaska Republican runs again when she is up for reelection in 2022, she will lose the Republican primary, the newspaper reported.

"She doesn't run for four years ... she's lucky," Trump told the Post. "But they will not forget. They will never forget. What she did was unacceptable. Really unacceptable."
