Before the US presidential election, Donald Trump seems to be getting the support of important leaders of rival parties. Former Democratic representative Tulsi Gabbard has supported Republican Donald Trump’s presidential bid. National Guard veteran Gabbard, who was seen with Trump in Detroit on Monday, has represented Hawaii in the US Congress. Talking about Trump, Tulsi Gabbard has said that he understands the great responsibility of a President and Commander in Chief for America.
Trump and Indian-origin Tulsi Gabbard share the stage at the US National Guard Association on August 26, 2021, to mark the third anniversary of the suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport that killed 13 Americans and over 100 Afghans. On Monday, Gabbard accompanied Trump to Arlington National Cemetery where the former president paid tribute to the three military personnel killed.
Praise for Trump
On Monday, Gabbard praised Trump, saying, “Trump has shown the courage to meet opponents, dictators, allies to establish peace. He has always seen war as a last resort.” She also condemned the Democratic regime. She said that America is now fighting many wars on many fronts in regions around the world and is on the verge of nuclear war.
Contested for President in 2020
Tulsi Gabbard had long indicated support for Trump. Gabbard was known for taking stances against her party’s views during her four House terms. She became popular as an early and vocal supporter of Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2016 Democratic presidential primary election.
Gabbard, who did not seek re-election in 2020, ran for president herself. She said the Middle East is unstable because of US wars. She criticized Harris’ record during a primary debate and eventually surpassed her in the race that President Joe Biden won.
Has campaigned for several high-profile Republicans
Gabbard endorsed Biden but became an independent two years later. She said the Democratic Party is war-mongering. Over the past few years, she has campaigned for several high-profile Republicans. She has contributed to Fox News and started a podcast. Another former Democratic presidential contender also recently endorsed Trump. Last week, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he would support Trump.
