Former Gov. Sarah Palin made her announcement during an abrupt Labor Day press conference, which sent reporters scrambling to her backyard on the shores of Lake Lucille in Wasilla.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announced Monday, Sept. 5, 2022 in Wasilla that she was remaining in the U.S. House general-election race to succeed the late Rep. Don Young.
The circumstances were similar to a key political milestone in her life, her 2009 resignation as Alaska governor in the wake of a failed vice-presidential bid alongside GOP running mate John McCain. “Today I’m calling on negative Nick Begich to get out of this race,” Palin said. “He does not represent the depths of Alaska. He represents the good ol’ boys network, the establishment and yes, the liberals, the liberals in the Democrat Party. Only a Democrat sympathizer would selfishly stay in this race, after getting thumped three times, three times in a row by his GOP opponent, just to enable a Democrat to hold the Alaskan people seat in the United States House of Representatives.
Palin had responded to the second-round results, announced Wednesday and finalized Friday, by calling for Begich to drop out of the race.
