Former presidential candidate and congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party two years ago, announced Tuesday that she’s joining the Republican Party because of her love for America and former President Donald Trump’s leadership.
Gabbard made the surprise announcement during a speech at Trump’s rally in Greensboro, North Carolina.
“It is because of my love for our country, and specifically because of the leadership that President Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party of the people and the party of peace, that I’m proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I’m joining the Republican Party,” Gabbard said.
Moments prior to revealing her decision, Gabbard explained her reasoning.
She said that the Republican Party was welcoming to “independent-minded people” who are committed to the U.S. Constitution and to freedom, such as herself.
“I am joining the party of the people, the party of equality, the party that was founded to fight against and end slavery in this country. It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president who has the courage and strength to fight for peace,” said Gabbard, who serves in the U.S. Army Reserves.
She noted that Trump has “pledged to end wars, not start them.”
Gabbard served as a member of Congress from 2013 through 2021, representing Hawaii’s second district as a Democrat.

“It is because of my love for our country, and specifically because of the leadership that President Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party of the people and the party of peace, that I’m proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I’m joining the Republican Party,” Gabbard said. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Some people would rather fight than switch,,,,,,better the ones who would rather fight AND Switch.,,, and think before following a leader. Best way to judge a leader is past performance which in Trump’s case leaves Kamala alone in the dust, soon to be shoveled into the dustbins of history. What is really scary is just how far one disoriented unqualified puppet can get, on pure unadulterated American media B.S. and mask the empty suit within. Even Obama when he tries to prop her up comes away the lessor man for it. Kamala cannot lead, refuses to follow, so Obama needs to just get out of the way before his legacy gets buried in the dust as well.
Obama’s legacy is the destruction of American Principles and Traditions along with the middle class. Leaving us as a country of Elites and we the PAWNS. With the number of visits to the White House during BHO’s administration by Soros, was it to check on his puppets BHO and Biden. Now it’s Biden and Harris.
Good for her!
Give Tulsi Gabbard, the scabbard, and she cuts to the quick to get to the very heart of the Kamala problem. Et TU Kamala,,,Sic Semper tyrannus!,,,,to your Semper perfidia, of one who derserves a switch of her own,,,,,,,right on her little girl backside bottom where her brains are located.
Excellent, I am overjoyed to have such an intelligent strong woman join the party, Tulsi is a great asset to our wonderful nation, and thank you for your service! I look forward to supporting you in your endeavors in your future.
