Former Democrats Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have endorsed Donald Trump for the presidency, highlighting a significant shift in their political affiliations and signaling potential impacts on the upcoming election. Kennedy, who recently suspended his independent campaign, criticized the Democratic Party for straying from its values and expressed a desire to collaborate with Trump on issues like chronic disease and foreign policy. Gabbard, also a former presidential hopeful, noted shared beliefs with Trump as her reason for the endorsement. Both are set to serve as surrogates in Trump's spin room during the anticipated debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, underscoring their roles in promoting Trump's candidacy. The Democratic National Committee has responded by preparing to counter Kennedy's endorsement with criticism of Trump. Their endorsements may indicate a growing discontent among some former Democrats with the current political landscape.
