Sarah Palin is an American politician.
Early life
Palin was born in Idaho, and moved to Alaska when she was just a few months old.
Career
She was elected Mayor of Wasilla in 1996. She cut taxes.
Palin was elected the Governor of the state of Alaska in 2006, despite being outspent by her Democrat opponent. She became Alaska's first female governor and, at the age of 42, the youngest governor in Alaskan history. As governor, her approval rating ranged from a high of 93% in May 2007 to 54% in May 2009.[1] She was the running mate of John McCain in the US/2008 Presidential election. She resigned as governor in July 2009.
AP did a fact check on her book Going Rogue [2] which was published November 17, 2009 and which became a New York Times #1 bestseller.[3]
She endorsed Donald Trump early on in 2016.
She was part of The Establishment/Incitements to Murder. In December 2020, she apologised for her past statements and said that she wants Julian Assange to be pardoned.[4][5]
