Sarah Palin defeated by Mary Peltola
After Sarah Palin, the Republican Vice President Candidate lost her bid for Alaska’s only seat in the House of Representatives (to Mary Peltola), Palin has been the subject of ridicule and mockery online.
Palin, former Alaska governor, lost to Peltola in the second election just three months after the Democrat won a special election in late august to replace Republican Congressman Don Young.
Peltola, the first Alaska Native woman elected to Congress, has increased her vote share by 55% to 45 percent over Palin during the midterm elections. She beat Palin, Donald Trump’s endorsed, by 55% to 45%.
This result ended Palin’s political comeback attempt. It also proved that the expected “red wave,” predicted to occur in the midterm elections, did not materialize. Other Trump-backed candidate lost their respective races.

Padilla was referring to a sketch from 2008 Saturday Night Live in which Tina Fey played Palin mocking a comment that the vice-presidential nominee had made in an interview: Russia “are our next-door neighbors” and that you could see Russia from Alaska,”– a statement which is valid for certain parts of the state.
