Former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has officially endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, marking a significant shift in her political allegiance. Gabbard, who ran for the Democratic nomination in 2020 before distancing herself from the party, joined Trump on stage in Detroit to show her support.
The endorsement comes as Trump continues his campaign for re-election, with Gabbard urging Democrats, Republicans, and independents to vote for Trump in November. The event in Michigan also saw Gabbard criticize the Biden administration for its handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, which resulted in the deaths of US service members and Afghan civilians.
Gabbard’s journey from a progressive Democrat to a supporter of Trump has raised eyebrows, with many questioning her motives and beliefs. Her decision to back Trump has been met with criticism from top Democrats, who see her endorsement as a betrayal of the party.
Despite the backlash, Gabbard remains steadfast in her support for Trump, citing concerns about the direction of American democracy and the need to “save our country and serve the people.” Her endorsement adds another layer of complexity to an already contentious presidential race, as Trump seeks to secure a second term in office.
