In a significant political shift, Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democratic Representative from Hawaii, has endorsed former President Donald Trump for the upcoming 2024 presidential election, setting the stage for a high-profile contest against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Gabbard, who represented Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021, distanced herself from the Democratic Party in 2022, labeling it an “elitist cabal of warmongers.”
Her departure from the party was marked by vocal criticisms of its direction and policies, which culminated in her decision to support Trump in the next presidential race.

The former congresswoman’s endorsement is not just a formal nod; she has actively participated in Trump’s campaign efforts, particularly in debate preparations.
Trump is scheduled to debate Kamala Harris on September 10 at the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia, where Gabbard’s insights into Harris’s record and debate style could prove invaluable.
Gabbard’s own presidential run in the 2019 Democratic primary saw her on stage with Harris, where she notably criticized the then-Senator’s record on marijuana convictions.
During one of the Democratic primary debates, Gabbard confronted Harris about her prosecutorial record, stating, “She put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.” This sharp critique highlighted a key aspect of Harris’s tenure as California’s Attorney General that Gabbard found particularly contentious.
Well, it’s on!!!

Since switching her political affiliation, Gabbard has been an active voice at conservative gatherings, including speaking engagements at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and the Faith and Freedom Coalition Road to Majority Conference.
Her transition from a Democratic presidential hopeful to a supporter of Donald Trump underscores a dramatic realignment in her political stance and has positioned her as a bridge between disaffected Democrats and the Republican base.
This endorsement aligns with another notable shift in the political landscape, as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also a former Democrat, suspended his independent presidential bid to support Trump.
In his announcement, Kennedy criticized the Democratic Party for what he described as legal and procedural attacks against both himself and Trump, stating, “The Democratic Party waged continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself,” and decried the party’s primary process as a “sham.”
Kennedy has vowed to campaign alongside Trump until the election, further consolidating a surprising coalition of former Democrats who have crossed party lines to endorse the Republican candidate.

These endorsements not only bolster Trump’s campaign but also signify a broader critique of the Democratic Party’s current strategies and policies by prominent figures who were once part of its ranks.
