Sarah Palin is coming back to Fox News, the network announced Thursday.

Just five months since she “ parted ways” with the network after a three-year run, the former Republican vice presidential candidate is rejoining Fox News as a contributor. Palin will appear on Fox News’ daytime and primetime programming, starting with an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Monday, June 17, according to a press release. She will also be a contributor to Fox Business Network.

“The power of Fox News is unparalleled,” the former Alaska governor said in a statement. “The role of Fox News in the important debates in our world is indispensable. I am pleased and proud to be rejoining Roger Ailes and the great people at Fox.”

Fox News chief Roger Ailes said he “had several conversations with Governor Palin in the past few weeks about her rejoining Fox News as a contributor.”

“I have great confidence in her and am pleased that she will once again add her commentary to our programming,” he said in the press release. “I hope she continues to speak her mind.”

In an interview with Breitbart News shortly after leaving Fox News in January, Palin said she didn’t want to “just preach to the choir” and that she was looking to take her message to a “larger audience.”
