Sarah Palin was everywhere in the news during John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.
She was the Governor of Alaska and was suddenly picked to be McCain’s running mate. Even though they lost to Barack Obama, Palin was still seen as a major influence in Republican politics.
Sarah Palin, 58, is still active in the Republican party, but lately, the news has focused more on her personal life.
In 2020, after being married for nearly 30 years, Palin announced her divorce from her husband. The details were surprising, and recently, Palin has shared more about the breakup.
Palin was born in Sandpoint, Idaho, in 1964, but her family moved to Alaska when she was just a few months old. She grew up in Wasilla, a small town about 40 miles north of Anchorage.
In high school, Palin was a basketball star and a natural leader, becoming well-known in her school.
