Former Alaska Republican Governor Sarah Palin has called on her fellow GOP House candidate Nick Begich to drop out of the November midterm race.
Palin made the plea during a Monday news conference following a loss to Democrat Mary Peltola in the state’s special House election to replace Republican Rep. Don Young, who passed away earlier this year.
Palin and Begich combined to take 60% of the vote, yet Peltola was declared the winner due to taking the most votes in the state’s new ranked-choice vote system. …
“He keeps calling me a quitter,” Palin said during the news conference outside her Wasilla home. “Now he wants me, the one who is clearly the only true conservative in this race who can win, he wants me to quit! Now that’s the real joke. Sorry, Nick. I never retreat. I reload.”
Begich’s campaign responded that he does not intend to drop out of the Alaska House race.
