This style of communication has become Sarah's trademark. Her public statements are harsh and emotional.
In 2008, then-presidential candidate John McCain invited Sarah to become his deputy if he wins the election. In this case, Palin could become the first female vice president in the United States. However, McCain's plans were not destined to come true, as Barack Obama defeated, making him the first black president in US history.
In 2016, Sarah supported Donald Trump in the next presidential election. For this, she was harshly criticized by some American politicians.
After leaving the post of governor, Sarah regularly participates in political talk shows, and also publishes books.
