Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Monday again called on fellow Republican Nick Begich III to drop out of November’s election for the state’s lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives so that the GOP can unite behind a single candidate.
With a deadline of 5 p.m. Monday for candidates to withdraw, Begich said he has no intention of doing so.
In an Instagram post on Monday morning, complete with a white flag of surrender, Palin wrote that “Republicans must unite” and “I know when to take one for the team.” She called on Begich “to do the right thing” and drop out with the “clock ticking.” Later Monday, Begich’s campaign issued a statement saying he was staying in the race: “We are confident that we are on a positive trajectory to win in November,” his campaign wrote.
