Lieberman served in the U.S. Senate for Connecticut from 1989 to 2013 and was Al Gore’s running mate in the 2000 election, becoming the first Jewish candidate to be on a major-party ticket.

Lieberman was also the first major Democrat—though he later left the party and identified as an independent democrat—to denounce President Bill Clinton for his sexual relationship and scandal with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky, according to the New York Times.

Recently, Lieberman was the founding chairman of No Labels and was working to identify candidates to run for president in 2024 on a Unity Party ticket.

His funeral will be held March 29 at Congregation Agudath Sholom in Stamford, Connecticut, Lieberman’s hometown, and there will be another memorial service announced later, his family said.
