Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat, announces her endorsement of Trump for the 2024 presidential race.
Since switching her party affiliation, Gabbard has consistently spoken out against the Democratic Party.
Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman from Hawaii and a Democrat-turned-Independent, is backing Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race against Kamala Harris.
From 2013 to 2021, Gabbard represented Hawaii's 2nd congressional district as a Democrat, but in 2022, she left the party and criticized it as a "elitist cabal of warmongers."
The former Democrat who ran against Harris in the 2019 Democratic presidential primary has been recruited by Trump to help with debate prep ahead of their September 10 face-off at the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia.
During a Democratic primary debate, the then-presidential candidate criticized the vice president for allegedly imprisoning hundreds of Californians for marijuana offenses and subsequently admitting to smoking the drug herself.
During the debate, Gabbard accused Harris of putting over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughing about it when asked if she ever smoked marijuana.
Since switching her party affiliation, Gabbard has been a vocal critic of the Democratic Party and has spoken at conservative events such as CPAC and the Faith and Freedom Coalition Road to Majority Conference.
After former Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his 2024 Independent presidential bid and endorsed Trump, the endorsement was made.
Kennedy stated in his withdrawal announcement that the Democratic Party engaged in continuous legal battles against both President Trump and himself, and conducted a phony primary. RFK Jr. declared that he will run with Trump until the election.
