Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) said that she may join the Republican Party. She was conjectured to be a possible vice presidential candidate for former President Donald Trump in November.
Gabbard expressed openness to serving in a possible second Trump White House during a recent interview.
“I think there are a few different ways I could serve — as secretary of state, secretary of defense — there are a few different ways I believe I could best serve our country,” she said. “Ultimately, we’ve got to save our country and win this election. I look forward to finding the best way that I can do that.”
Gabbard visited a Republican Party event in Wisconsin and had several meetings with GOP county leaders. She has previously campaigned for several Republican candidates.
The representative formerly served as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

On social media, she accused President Joe Biden of being guilty of “abuse of power.” She also wrote that the president was “GUILTY of turning our country into a banana republic where those in power use the law to go after their political opponents. She also accused Biden “of undermining our Constitution and the freedoms guaranteed therein.
Biden has proven he is unfit for the office of the presidency,” she said.
After leaving office, Gabbard said that she could “no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.”
The former representative and 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate has been discussed as Trump’s possible VP pick. However, her name does not appear on a reported list of potential candidates Trump requested information from.
The Florida Democrat was a key supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) when he ran for the Democratic Party nomination in 2016.
While being a Democrat, Gabbard has been increasingly critical of her party. She has been particularly critical of President Joe Biden.
Gabbard has increasingly warned the Trump campaign and has complimented the former president on several occasions in recent history.
