Former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard joins Republican Party

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is officially joining the Republican party.
Gabbard spoke at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump in North Carolina, a key swing state.
“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,” she said.
Gabbard served as the U.S. representative for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District from 2013 to 2021.
Gabbard ran for president as a Democrat in 2020 before denouncing the party two years later and becoming an independent.
Gabbard publicly announced her endorsement of Trump back in August.
She is currently serving as an honorary co-chair for Trump’s presidential transition team.
