Sarah Palin, John McCain's running mate during the 2008 presidential election, was not invited to any of the late senator's memorial services, People reports.
McCain died Saturday from brain cancer at age 81. Longtime McCain family friend Carla Eudy confirmed to People that "invitations were not extended" to Palin or President Trump. Eudy, a fundraiser, helped plan the services, and also recently cut several McCain staffers from the invite list, People reports. She did not say who asked that their names be removed, or why.
