Tulsi Gabbard wanted to enter the White House for the Democrats – even though her positions were often far from the mainstream. She turned her back on the party. And is now turning her attention to the competition.
Former Democratic presidential candidate and Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who has since turned away from her party, is supporting Republican candidate Donald Trump in the November election. She is committed to doing everything she can to get him back into the White House, Gabbard said.
With regard to the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, the former National Guard soldier said that Trump’s first priority in office would be to bring the US back “from the brink of war.” The Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, on the other hand, stands for the curtailment of freedom and the abuse of power, says Gabbard.
Gabbard ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 – but had no serious chances and, after giving up her own ambitions, threw her support behind Joe Biden, who won the election for the Democrats. In her election campaign at the time, the congresswoman from Hawaii campaigned for, among other things, a demilitarization of US foreign policy.
The politician, now 43 years old, had to defend herself against accusations that her candidacy was supported by Russia and was only aimed at weakening the Democrats. Trump repeatedly defended Gabbard against these allegations at the time – which is why some Democrats viewed her with even greater skepticism.
Gabbard was a member of the House of Representatives in Washington from 2013 to 2021. Her positions often contradicted those of her party. In 2017, for example, Gabbard traveled to Syria to meet ruler Bashar al-Assad. She was heavily criticized for the trip. After her time in parliament, Gabbard broke away from the Democrats and has since appeared frequently in conservative media.
