Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin expressed frustration over not being asked to serve in the Trump administration, saying the president's "gatekeepers" are "tight."
Speaking to NewsNation's "On Balance With Leland Vittert" on Friday, the former Republican vice-presidential candidate said she's "frustrated" that she hasn't been asked to be a part of the administration.
"I thought that there would be a position in Energy in that Department, because that's my baby: wanting energy independence for America. You know, that's all about security and sovereignty of our nation is to be energy independent," Palin said. "But that hasn't happened."
The 2008 running mate of the late Sen. John McCain said she's been surprised that her background in an energy-rich state and national politics has kept her off the administration's short list.
"I didn't even get credentials to attend the GOP convention, if you can believe it," she added. "They're tight. They're tight.
"And I'm the only living Republican nominee who had run for VP or president who supported Trump. And even I couldn't get in. So, you know, yeah, they're pretty tight ... but I'd love to serve."
Palin, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2022, predicted that if Trump isn't able to get his mandate through, some personnel changes are likely to happen early.
"If things aren't going to be smooth, if his agenda is not going to be ushered in per the vote of the people, the wishes of the people, then I think they will regroup and maybe already change some persons," she said.

I rallied for the Tea Party regularly, and never supported the Republican Party it's self again, only select honest Republican individuals.
I fought the Lawfare mostly through Pro 2A organizations, as I believed they were the best organized at that time.
Thank You for your comment!
According to a superficial web search, the current in ambassador was appointed in 2021. So if the suggestion of nominating Sarah to un ambassadorship has not yet been made here, please allow me be the first…
Woops, the 2021 un ambassador resigned on January 20, 2025, and there seems to be now a stand-in career replacement.
What about RANK CHOICE VOTING? This is what stopped her from joining the Senate, where she would have been very valuable to Trump and America First instead of Lisa Murkowski.
I love that woman...but I love my wife x100+ more!
