Who Is Tulsi Gabbard?

My VIP for this week is former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) who has since departed from the Democrat Party. In an interview with Gabbard, Blaze TV host Dave Rubin asked her if she would accept an offer from Donald Trump to be his 2024 running mate.

This is the same question that has been asked of other people, particularly women. One of those women is Representative Elise Stefanak (R-NY), the chair of the House Republican Conference.

Every person that I have observed answering the question answered in a comparable manner as Gabbard: “If that call came, I would say yes” (according to Alex Nitzberg). He wrote the following in his article in The Blaze.

She indicated that getting the U.S. “back on track” would involve having courageous government figures “who care more about the country than they do about the political elite in Washington, and actually rooting out the deep rot that exists within our bureaucracies, the administrative state, the deep state in Washington.”

Blaze TV host Steve Deace noted in a tweet that Gabbard is his “prediction for Trump’s running mate.”

Gabbard, who served in Congress as a Hawaii Democrat from early 2013 through early 2021, backed Joe Biden in 2020 when she dropped her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. But she announced in 2022 that she was “leaving the Democratic Party.”

I believe that Gabbard would be an excellent choice. She is a woman who loves America. She is intelligent and can speak plainly. Like most politicians, she has authored a book titled “For Love of Country: Leave the Democrat Party Behind,” which will be released tomorrow. Nitzberg explained further:

ABC News reported that Gabbard, referring to independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., said in a statement, “I met with Kennedy several times, and we have become good friends.” Gabbard reportedly said in the statement, “He asked if I would be his running mate. After careful consideration, I respectfully declined.”

Kennedy picked Nicole Shanahan as his running mate.

I, for one, am disappointed with the rift between Trump and his former Vice President Mike Pence. I thought that they made an effective team throughout the four years until January 6. Now Pence refuses to even endorse Trump in 2024. For this stance, I believe that Pence is the loser.
