Sarah Palin Expresses Interest In Trump Administration Role, Calls One Department “My Baby”

In an interview with NewsNation, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin expressed interest in having a role within the Trump administration.

The former Alaska governor set her eyes for the Energy Department.

“I thought that there’d be a position in energy, in that department, because that’s my baby,” Palin said, according to NewsNation.

“But that hasn’t happened,” she continued.

Per NewsNation:

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.”

From The Hill:

She also warned against those within the administration criticizing the president or not implementing his goals — such as his massive immigration agenda, plans to cut down government spending and calls for tax cuts — in a timely manner, which she says could lead to early turnover.

“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,” Palin said.

The former governor, who also ran an unsuccessful bid for the House in 2022, reflected on the 2008 campaign against former President Obama and then-vice presidential candidate Joe Biden.

“I knew that what I was standing for and fighting for was the right thing because I am so connected, I believe, to Joe Six-Pack,” she said, referring to the average working person. “That’s who I am, you know, just running businesses, raising families, not a professional politician, knowing that the bureaucrats in the face of politicians in D.C. do not know better than we ourselves as individuals how to run our lives.”

“So a lot of my passion for back then, you know, even while it’s going on 30 years now, when I started in local government to today’s passion, even for fighting for what is right, a lot of it has to do with my experience having served in local government, the most efficient level of government, and you are so held to account,” Palin added.
