<p>Former Alaska Republican governor and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said on Monday that she would be &#8220;honored&#8221; to serve in the U.S. House in place of Republican Rep. Don Young, who recently died at the age of 88.</p>
<p>Palin shared the remarks during an interview on Newsmax&#8217;s &#8220;Eric Bolling: The Balance.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If I were asked to serve in the House and take his place I would be humbled and honored. I would, in a heartbeat, I would,&#8221; Palin said.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will see how this process goes in terms of filling that seat – it would be an honor,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>Palin also addressed some of her concerns with the current White House administration, particularly regarding oil, as gas prices have soared nationwide.</p>
<p>“Some people, certainly not in the White House, are aware of what petroleum products actually are, what transportation costs actually affect when it comes to supply chain. Because of their lack of education or purposeful destruction of so many sectors of the economy – they certainly look to blame somebody else,” she added.</p>

<p>In addition to serving as a former Alaska governor, Palin served as a Republican vice-presidential candidate with John McCain in the 2008 election.</p>
<p>Palin also made <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sarah-palin-libel-case-versus-the-new-york-times-heads-to-jury-trial-this-month" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headlines</a> earlier this year over her court case with The New York Times regarding allegations of being defamed in 2017 by an editorial that linked a political action committee ad to a 2011 shooting that included serious injuries to then-Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords and killed six others.</p>
<p>The jury trial was delayed from its original date after Palin tested <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sarah-palin-tests-positive-for-covid-19-could-delay-start-of-ny-times-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">positive</a> for COVID-19. The case was ultimately dismissed.</p>
