Former U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), who was Democratic Party’s nominee for vice president in 2000, passed away on Wednesday. He was 82 years old.
His family said in a statement that he died “due to complications from a fall.”
“His beloved wife, Hadassah, and members of his family were with him as he passed,” the statement continued. “Senator Lieberman’s love of God, his family, and America endured throughout his life of service in the public interest.”

Lieberman was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1988 after serving as a Connecticut state senator for a decade and the state’s attorney general for six years.
Lieberman was known for having an independent streak as a politician and was not afraid to buck his own party, including going from being Al Gore’s running mate in 2000 to backing former Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for president in 2008 in a speech at the Republican National Convention.
