A federal court has resurrected a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times filed by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, after the lower court dismissed it during jury deliberations. The lawsuit stems from a 2017 editorial connecting Palin’s campaign to the shooting of then-Representative Gabby Giffords, a claim the court now says may have been influenced by the judge’s dismissal notification to the jury.
Former Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, chosen by Vice President Kamala Harris as her running mate, is facing scrutiny for his past record and policies. Critics are drawing parallels to Sarah Palin, John McCain’s running mate in 2008, highlighting Walz’s lack of national recognition and questioning his political judgment. Walz’s progressive policies, handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and ties to a controversial Muslim cleric are raising concerns about his suitability for the vice presidency.
