Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard (I-HI) has declared her decision to join the Republican Party, emphasizing that it represents the “party of the people” and advocates for “equality.”
At a rally held by former President Donald Trump in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Tuesday, Gabbard articulated that her choice is driven by her “love” for the United States and the “leadership” that former President Trump has provided in transforming the GOP. She further stated that casting a vote for Trump signifies support for “secure borders and safe communities” as well as “a vote for peace,” extending beyond the United States to the global stage.
“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,” Tulsi told the crowd. “I’m 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.”
The statement from the former congresswoman follows her endorsement of Trump for the presidency in August, highlighting that during his initial term, he “didn’t start any new wars” and “took action to de-escalate and prevent wars.”
