If the final two stage is Gross vs Palin this will be a competitive race, I expect. Helps that he’s officially independent rather than Dem.

Ugh, that's the one that was still missing in the next congress. MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, Cathron, Gosar and now Palin. This is going to be a heck of a GOP caucus.

On the bright side, at least Mo Brooks leaves office.

And Louie Gohmert.

I think the filing deadline for the special election is tomorrow… Palin hasn’t announced yet. I’m assuming she doesn’t run, but I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

Maybe she's just running for the general election in November, idk, she could just be trying to get attention.

I think it’s the latter. Also, if she wanted to run, why skip the special election and only file for the November general election? It’s an at-large seat, so it’s not like the district lines are changing, and the election dates are only a few months apart.

The seat is as good as hers, the way I see it. Her name recognition is likely unparalleled, and I don't see primary voters being that picky over stuff that happened over 10 years ago.

It's real.

The seat is hers and I expect a Trump endorsement soon too. It'll really be something to have Sarah Palin in Congress lmao.

It’s 100% real. She’d be an interesting congresswoman, but probably a solid yet standard conservative vote at the end of the day (not that I have any issues with that!).

Sara Palin in a Top 4 election system is going to be absolutely fascinating for election nerds like me.

Of course she announced it on April Fool's day. I see her poor political judgement hasn't changed.

 Alaska has big shoes to fill and she's the only one who fits the bill. May she fly high.

My first thought is also that it's an April Fools joke, and it seems like I'm not the only one that thinks that based on posts above mine.

It will be interesting to see if it's real. I think the seat is easily hers if she wants it.

Does she have the kind of self-deprecating humor to turn herself into a national April Fool's joke, though?

Wow, I didn't think she'd actually do it. Unless this is an April Fool's joke (which I don't think it is, given today is the filing deadline), here's the official announcement:

I think Palin will be the clear frontrunner, given her name recognition. Yes, she left office unpopular, but that was over a decade ago. She will fit in well with today's Republican Party, and I expect she'll get the Trump endorsement.

Actually she left office with a positive approval rating (54%), not nearly close to the >90% approval rating when she was first sworn in, but not unpopular.
