Tulsi Gabbard Has a Major Announcement About Her Party Affiliation
Rebecca Downs / Townhall Tipsheet
On Tuesday night, while campaigning for former and potentially future
President Donald Trump in North Carolina, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard
announced that she was joining the Republican Party. She had served as a
Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District from
2013-2021 and even ran for president in 2020. She left the Democratic
Party to become an Independent in October 2022, however, and has now since become a Republican.
While such an announcement came on Tuesday, as Gabbard joined Trump at the podium in Greensboro, she had endorsed him in August. This is also around the time when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped his presidential bid and endorsed Trump.
Decked
out in red, Gabbard shared that "it is because of my love for our
country--and specifically, because of the leadership that President
Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to
the party of the people and the party of peace--that I'm proud to stand
here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I'm joining the
Republican Party," to applause from the audience. Read more & see Xs & videos here.
