Former U.S. Senator from Connecticut and vice presidential nominee, Joe Lieberman, has passed away at the age of 82 due to complications from a fall. Lieberman, who nearly became the nation’s first Jewish vice president in 2000, served as a senator for many years before his retirement in 2013. Known for his dedication to public service and his efforts to bridge political divides, Lieberman’s passing has sparked tributes from across the political spectrum. A funeral service is scheduled for Friday in Stamford.
