Former Governor of Alaska and Republican vice-presidential candidate
Did you know?Before entering politics, she was a television sports broadcaster and a runner-up in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant.
Sarah Palin went from a small-town mayor to the national stage in a matter of weeks. John McCain's surprise choice electrified conservative crowds in 2008. Several shaky interviews drew heavy criticism. After the defeat she resigned as Governor and became a media personality and kingmaker. Her style of combative grassroots politics anticipated later shifts in the Republican Party. She returned to the ballot in 2022 but lost. She remains a polarising figure.
