Tulsi Gabbard, who 'ended' Kamala Haris's 2020 Democratic Presidential campaign, endorses Donald Trump
They say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Republican U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump has found a new such ally. Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has endorsed Trump's presidential bid in the 2024 U.S. Presidential elections. Gabbard, who appeared with Trump at a campaign rally in Detroit on Monday, said the former President ¡°understands the grave responsibility that a president and commander in chief bears for every single one of our lives.¡±
Gabbard praised Trump for ¡°having the courage to meet with adversaries, dictators, allies, and partners alike in the pursuit of peace, seeing war as a last resort.¡± The switchover of Gabbard, a National Guard veteran who served two tours of duty in the Middle East, from the Democrats to the Trump camp did not come as a surprise.
