Tulsi Gabbard Leaves the Democratic Party
A Rising Star Reimagines Her Path
From the Battlefield to Capitol Hill
Tulsi Gabbard, born April 12, 1981, is a former U.S. Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district and an Iraq war veteran. As a major in the United States Army Reserve, she brings a unique perspective to politics.
A Once-Promising Democrat
Gabbard was once considered a rising star within the Democratic Party. She was a vocal critic of the Iraq War and foreign interventionism. In 2020, she ran for the Democratic presidential nomination but ultimately withdrew from the race.
A Shift in Allegiance
On Tuesday, Gabbard announced her decision to leave the Democratic Party. She cited the party's "complete control" by "an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness." Gabbard's departure marks a significant shift in the political landscape.
A Bright Future Ahead
While it remains unclear what the future holds for Gabbard, her departure from the Democratic Party has garnered significant attention. It is a reminder that political allegiances can change and that individual voices can make a meaningful impact.
