Fell out with Democrats: Former US senator Lieberman dies at 82
Quick Glance: Joe Lieberman, Former US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate, Passes Away at 82
  • Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who came close to winning the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and nearly became running mate to Republican John McCain eight years later, has passed away.

  • Lieberman passed away in New York City as a result of complications following a fall.

  • His advocacy for issues such as gay rights, civil rights, abortion rights, and environmental causes often earned him praise from many liberals, despite causing discontent among Democrats due to his independent stance and provocations towards Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign.

  • Renowned for his firm foreign policy perspectives, pro-defense inclinations, and robust support for environmental matters, Lieberman was instrumental in the legislative efforts leading to the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

Quick Glance: IVF Ruling and Abortion Debate in Alabama Election
  • As the Alabama election approaches, candidates focus on abortion and in vitro fertilization (IVF), with Republicans reinforcing support for IVF and Democrats opposing abortion restrictions.
