Palin, a conservative firm that announced its campaign last week, is entering a busy field with more than 40 candidates running for office in a special election, but Trump support has the potential to significantly boost its chances. In a statement, Trump also slammed the 2008 presidential campaign of his former rival, the late Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who had nominated Palin as his candidate. “Sarah picked up McCain’s presidential campaign, despite the fact that she had to put up with some very bad, stupid and jealous people within the campaign. They were ready to destroy it, but they did not let it happen.” said Trump. “I’m proud to give her my Full and Full Support and encourage all Republicans to unite behind this wonderful person and her campaign to put America First!” Special primary elections for the solitary seat of the US House of Representatives in Alaska will be held on June 11 and special general elections will be held on August 16, the same day as the Alaska primary elections across the state. Although she has been away from her last election campaign for years, Palin enters the race as a well-known name in the state. Since running for vice president, Palin has not sought any other elected office, although the party has moved more toward the rhetoric that has made her stand out as vice president.
