Tulsi Gabbard, the one-time Democratic presidential hopeful who had hoped to run against Donald Trump in 2020, completed an astonishing reversal Monday by warmly endorsing the former president.
Gabbard quit her safe Hawaii House district in 2019 to join the packed 2020 Democratic presidential field. After dropping out of the race, she endorsed Joe Biden as the best man to “heal the divisiveness that has been tearing our country apart.”
But on Monday she spoke at a meeting of the National Guard Association in Detroit, Michigan, which was also addressed by Trump—and called for the country to vote for him. "I am committed to doing all that I can to send President Trump back to the White House,” she said.
