(PatriotNews.net) – Former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who once ran as a Democrat, has now endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, made this announcement during a speech at the National Guard conference in Detroit.
In her speech, Gabbard emphasized the need for unity among Americans, regardless of political affiliation. She criticized what she sees as a culture of political retaliation and abuse of power, urging people to support Trump to protect the country’s future. “We can’t allow our country to be destroyed by politicians who put their own power ahead of the interests of the American people,” Gabbard said.
This endorsement from Gabbard is significant, as it comes on the third anniversary of the suicide bombing in Afghanistan that claimed the lives of 13 U.S. service members. She spoke passionately about her love for the country and her desire for peace and freedom, inviting all Americans to join her in supporting Trump’s return to the White House.
Gabbard, who served as a Democratic representative for Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021, left the Democratic Party after calling it an “elitist cabal of warmongers.” She had previously run against Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2019 Democratic presidential primary. During that time, Gabbard was critical of Harris, particularly on her record as a prosecutor in California.
Recently, Trump recruited Gabbard to help him prepare for an upcoming debate against Harris. Gabbard’s experience and strong opinions, especially her criticism of Harris, may play a crucial role in Trump’s debate strategy.
This endorsement also follows the decision of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to suspend his own presidential campaign and support Trump instead. Kennedy criticized the Democratic Party for what he called “legal warfare” against both himself and Trump, and he plans to campaign alongside Trump until the election.
Gabbard’s endorsement highlights the growing number of former Democrats who are now backing Trump, adding an interesting dynamic to the 2024 race.
