(NewsNation) — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin tells “On Balance with Leland Vittert” she’d be honored to serve in President Donald Trump’s second administration but hasn’t been contacted.
“I thought that there’d be a position in energy, in that department, because that’s my baby … but that hasn’t happened,” Palin said Friday.
She pointed to “gatekeepers” within the administration, telling NewsNation: “It gets frustrating for those with a heart to serve.”
“I didn’t even get credentials to attend the GOP convention if you can believe it,” she added. “They’re tight, they’re tight.”
The former governor told NewsNation that she’s the only living Republican to have run for vice president or president — and support Trump — who was not at the event.
Of his current administration, Palin said she thinks recent unforced errors from the administration show why some experience matters.
Particularly, experience in local government: “You learn, from the bottom on up, how important it is to be on the same sheet of music. And not to have blind loyalty.”
Palin predicts that, if Trump’s policy changes aren’t implemented in a timely manner, the administration might see some early turnover.
“If his agenda is not going to be ushered in — per the vote of the people, that’s the wishes of the people —then I think they will regroup and maybe, already, change some persons,” Palin explained.
Even Trump jokes about our energy mostly being in Interior, not Energy.
too bad, Mr. President. you’re missing out. tea party from the getgo, she’s among the best we have.
Her moments in the sun have come and gone.
> Her moments in the sun have come and gone. <
True that. But Trump should find a position for her anyway, for no other reason than it would upset the Democrats.
Ambassador to Russia.
I do think she should be given credit for “Drill, Baby Drill!” as she came up with that phrase.
I like her but objectively, she has a pretty thin resume, certainly nowhere near the education and experience of the other Cabinet Secretaries. And I really don’t know how good she would be as a manager.
If I were her I’d open a website and sell the hell out of “DBD” merch.
I think she deserves something to do as she has been loyal to the party even when they were cruel to her.
Sarah Palin endorsed Trump in 2024 but did not speak at any Trump rallies.
Either the Trump team viewed her as a liability, or she chose not to be a part of the Trump campaign.
I agree she should be included …. Bureau of land management?
That or any number of roles as I am pretty sure there are many spots need filling.
I bet she makes great sammiches.
The country needs Jane Fonda.
She’s way passed her 15 minutes. Time for new blood.
OK
Is that what she says during sexy time
Sarah Palin was politically destroyed because she was so incredibly competent.
She did not have President Trump’s Billions of dollars to defend herself with.
She was destroyed by backstabbers in the “Republican” party, mostly homosexual party members who always worked for the uniparty, and by a relentless old Dominant Media who never stopped with the lies about her.
Betcha Trump will give her the job of ‘watching’ those pesky Russians from her back porch !!
that’s your qualification for true service? fleeting fame?
i don’t think you assign much worth to the values of honesty, loyalty, fairness, and faith through adversity: in short, character.
it was an honor and a cherished memory to hear her at a tea party gathering back in the day. she is a great and motivational speaker. i still judge Sarah Palin to be intelligent, experienced, and able to lead (after all she was successful in the ongoing snakepit of politics in AK) in the conservative cause.
