A family statement announced that Joe Lieberman, a four-term senator and former vice presidential candidate, has passed away at the age of 82 due to complications stemming from a fall. Lieberman, who was Al Gore’s running mate in the 2000 presidential election, was known for his centrist views and affiliation with the No Labels movement. He made history as the first Jewish running mate for a major party in a general election. Despite winning the popular vote, the Gore-Lieberman ticket lost the Electoral College to George W Bush in a highly controversial election. Lieberman’s political career came to an end in 2006 when he lost the Democratic primary for the US Senate in Connecticut. Since then, he has remained active as a political lobbyist and advocate. This story is still developing, and more details will be provided.
