Longtime U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman has died at 82. His family said he died due to complications from a fall.

Lieberman represented Connecticut in the U.S. Senate for more than two decades. In 2000, he made history as the first Jewish American on a major party’s presidential ballot when he became Al Gore’s running mate.

This hour, be talking about his impact and legacy with a roundtable of political experts, and we want to hear from you.
