DES MOINES, Iowa — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin flew out of Iowa on Tuesday after traveling there to campaign with presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
Yahoo News spoke to Palin, who was the GOP’s vice presidential candidate in 2008, as she passed through airport security. Trump came in second to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in the Iowa caucuses on Monday night, so we asked Palin whether she thinks Trump will catch up in the next primary state, New Hampshire.
“I think so,” Palin said of Trump’s chances in the Granite State. “He’s going to do well there.”
Palin also shared her thoughts on why Trump, who had been the frontrunner, was defeated in Iowa.
“I think he just had to have seen more of his conservative side out, because Iowa’s so good and conservative,” Palin said.
Palin endorsed Trump on Jan. 19. Given her popularity among conservatives, the endorsement was seen as a boost for Trump’s chances in Iowa. At the airport on Tuesday, Yahoo suggested to Palin that Trump might have done better in the caucuses if he had brought her out on the trail with him sooner.
“That’s so nice,” she said of the suggestion.
Yahoo asked Palin how she was flying back to Alaska. Palin, who was accompanied by her daughter Willow, made a plane joke before confirming she was connecting to a direct flight back in Minneapolis.
“Our arms get super tired, but I’m really strong,” Palin quipped while flapping her arms.
Yahoo also asked Palin if she’s discussed being Trump’s running mate.
“I’ve not asked for a thing. He’s not promised a thing, except to make America great again,” Palin said referencing Trump’s slogan. “So there’s been absolutely no discussion about any kind of future whatever, all that speculative stuff. No.”
Yahoo tried to talk to Palin more, but Willow cut in and politely asked us to limit our chat to one question.
