Tulsi Gabbard backs Trump

Former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has publicly endorsed Donald Trump in his presidential bid, speaking at the National Guard Association event in Detroit. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, criticized the Biden administration for leading the U.S. towards multiple wars and emphasized Trump's potential to restore peace and serve the nation effectively. She urged Americans of all political affiliations to support Trump, stating that he understands the responsibilities of the presidency better than his opponents, particularly Vice President Kamala Harris. Gabbard's endorsement follows her previous criticisms of Harris during the 2020 campaign and her recent involvement in Trump's debate preparations. This endorsement aligns her more closely with conservative values, marking a significant departure from her previous party affiliation. Gabbard's shift reflects a broader trend of former Democrats aligning with Trump amid growing dissatisfaction with the party's direction.
