Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman has reportedly passed away at the age of 82 years old. Lieberman, who served as a U.S. Senator from the State of Connecticut from 1989 to 2013, was a Democrat.
In addition to serving as U.S. Senator, Lieberman also served in the Connecticut Senate, serving three terms as Majority Leader. He was elected and served as the Attorney General of the State of Connecticut from 1983 to 1989.
Lieberman was on the Al Gore 2000 Presidential ticket as a Vice President, eventually losing to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. In the 2008 Presidential election, he chose to endorse Republican John McCain over the Democratic nominee Barack Obama.
Lieberman had endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Joe Biden in the 2020 Presidential election. He reportedly died in his home of New York City, New York just yesterday after sustaining a fall.
