Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) signaled Friday that she would be honored to serve in President Trump’s second administration but admitted she hasn’t been reached out to.

“I thought that there would be a position in Energy in that Department because that’s my baby is wanting energy independence for America. You know, that’s all about security and sovereignty of our nation is to be energy independent,” she said Friday in an interview with NewsNation’s Leland Vittert. “But that hasn’t happened.”

Palin, who ran for vice president alongside the late Sen. John McCain in the 2008 presidential election, argued there are “gatekeepers” in the administration — pointing to her inability to receive credentials to attend the 2024 Republican National Convention last July.

“I didn’t even get credentials to attend the GOP convention, if you can believe it. I mean, wow, they’re tight,” she said, adding, “And I’m the only living Republican nominee who had run for VP or president who supported Trump. And even I couldn’t get in.” “So, you know, yeah, they’re pretty tight … but I’d love to serve,” the former GOP governor told NewsNation’s “On Balance” anchor.
