Former US senator Joe Lieberman has died at the age of 82. Lieberman has had one of the strangest careers in US politics.
In 2000, he almost became vice president under Al Gore. With “No Labels” he fought for an alternative to Donald Trump and Joe Biden. He was the only Democrat to publicly criticize President Clinton's ethical lapses in the Lewinsky affair in the Senate, even though the Clintons had once helped him in the election campaign. "In an era of political copies, Joe Lieberman was unique," said Chris Murphy.
