Former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has made headlines by endorsing former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race against Vice President Kamala Harris. Gabbard, who served as the Democratic representative for Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021, announced her exit from the party in 2022, denouncing it as an “elitist cabal of warmongers.”
Gabbard, who ran in the 2019 Democratic presidential primary against Harris, has been recruited by Trump to help with debate prep ahead of his face-off against the vice president. The former Democrat has been an outspoken critic of the Democratic Party since switching her party affiliation, speaking at conservative events such as the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and the Faith and Freedom Coalition Road to Majority Conference.
The endorsement comes on the heels of former Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspending his 2024 Independent presidential bid and throwing his support behind Trump. Kennedy cited the Democratic Party’s legal warfare against both Trump and himself as reasons for his decision.
With Gabbard and Kennedy now backing Trump, the 2024 presidential race is shaping up to be a highly contested and dramatic affair. Stay tuned for more updates as the campaign season heats up.
