Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin dropped a major hint about her possible plans for the future.
While speaking to Ché Ahn of New Apostolic Reformation, Palin confirmed that she would run to become a senator for Alaska “if God wants me to do it.”
Turning to the audience, Palin said, “I would say you guys better be there for me this time, because a lot of people were not there for me last time,” referring to her run for vice president in 2008.
Footage was released by “Right Wing Watch,” which is reportedly part of the liberal-left People for the American Way.
Palin could challenge Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska in the 2022 midterm election. Murkowski was one of a handful of GOP senators who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump after he left office.
Watch the clip:
If Palin chooses to run, she would also be up against Kelly Tshibaka, the former Alaska commissioner for administration who announced in March that she will run against Murkowski.
Tshibaka has received an endorsement from Trump.
“Lisa Murkowski is bad for Alaska,” Trump said in the statement.
“Murkowski has got to go! Kelly Tshibaka is the candidate who can beat Murkowski—and she will. Kelly is a fighter who stands for Alaska values and America First. She is MAGA all the way, pro-energy, strong on the Border, tough on Crime and totally supports our Military and our great Vets.
“Kelly is a powerful supporter of the Second Amendment and JOBS! I look forward to campaigning in Alaska for Kelly Tshibaka. She has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”
TRENDING 👇 Biden Offering Money to Americans Who Get Vaccinated
The Biden administration appears to be desperate.
Biden asked state and local governments to use funds from his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan to offer $100 payments to individuals in order to incentivize coronavirus vaccinations, The Hill reports.
The Treasury Department said, “Treasury stands ready to give technical assistance to state and local governments so that they may use the funds effectively to support increased vaccination in their communities, and Treasury will partner with the Department of Health and Human Services throughout this effort.”
Biden said at the White House, “I know that paying people to get vaccinated might sound unfair to folks that have gotten vaccinated already but here’s the deal: if incentives help us beat this virus, I believe we should use them…. We all benefit if we can get more people vaccinated,” Biden added.
More from The Hill:
The $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief law, which Biden signed in March, included $350 billion in funding to assist state, territorial and local governments in battling the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic… The Treasury Department clarified in May that governments that receive funds could use them for vaccine incentive programs. Several states and private businesses have already offered vaccine incentives in the form of lotteries and free food and other goods.
The announcement represents the latest strategy by the Biden administration to incentivize vaccines amid the spread of the more contagious delta variant… Almost 70 percent of U.S. adults have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, but vaccination rates have leveled off in recent weeks, and the percentage of people who are vaccinated in some areas of the country remains low.
