Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election, marking a significant shift from her previous political stance. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, praised Trump's foreign policy and criticized the current administration for bringing the U.S. closer to multiple conflicts and nuclear war. She has also been assisting Trump with debate preparation and will join his presidential transition team alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Gabbard's endorsement follows her previous clashes with Democratic figures like Kamala Harris and her criticism of the Democratic Party as an 'elitist cabal of warmongers.' Her endorsement is seen as an attempt to mitigate the loss of moderate GOP support from Trump's base.
