On Sunday, former United States Donald Trump announced his enforcement for Sarah Palin for the lone congressional seat of Alaska, left vacant after the death of GOP Representative Don Young last month. In a Sunday statement, the former president said that Sarah shocked several when she endorsed him early in 2016, and Republicans won big, and it’s his turn.
Last week, Palin announced her campaign and joined a crowded field of over forty candidates competing for the seat in a special election. Still, the former president’s endorsement can significantly enhance her win chances. Additionally, Trump criticized the 2008 presidential campaign of his former rival, the late Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona, who hit Palin as his running mate.

The former Republican president said that Sarah lifted the presidential campaign of McCain out of the dumps even though she had to undergo some stupid, jealous, and evil people within the campaign itself. He also expressed his happiness to give Palin his complete and total endorsement. In addition, he encouraged GOP leaders to unite behind her and her congressional campaign to put America First.
Palin Announcement to Run For Congressional Seat
On Friday, Palin announced that she is contesting for the Congressional seat that Young served for almost a half-century. GOP candidates pushed to court Trump for support in races this year, even as Trump slows his endorsements and shows a willingness to throw out favorites – renouncing his support for Representative Mo Brooks last month after the Senate confidence strayed slightly from the former president’s insistent false narratives about the U.S. 2020 Presidential Elections.
Ups and Downs of Palin’s Career
The popularity of Palin in Alaska significantly plunged after her 2008 vice-presidential campaign and her announcement to resign from the governor’s office in 2009. Donald Trump used his endorsement to slam the former running mate of Palin’s campaign, McCain, even after his death. During the presidential campaign in 2015, former President Trump said that the senator from Arizona was not a war hero despite serving in the Vietnam war and mocked that McCain liked people who were not captured.

For the last decade, Sarah Palin stayed away from the national politics of the United States. However, she continued to advocate conservative roots and cultivate a following. Palin sold over two million copies of her memoir (her biography), signed a worthwhile agreement with Fox News, and starred in the show TLC “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” In 2022, Palin challenged the COVID-19 rules of New York City by traveling in the city while unvaccinated.
When she entered the court, Palin told reporters that she was trying to accomplish justice for individuals who expect the truth in the media. However, in February, the judge dismissed the case by saying that Palin didn’t show that the New York Times acted with actual hatred even as he condemned the error of the newspaper in a 2017 editorial.
