Quick Glance: Defense Secretary Austin Affirms Long-Term U.S. Support for Ukraine Amid Congressional Funding Standstill

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.

  • 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.
