Tulsi Gabbard, who once ran for president as a Democrat, announced her transition to the Republican Party during a rally for former President Donald Trump in North Carolina. She criticized the current Democratic leadership, particularly Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming they are "anti-freedom" and "pro-censorship."
Gabbard expressed her belief that Trump embodies a commitment to peace and freedom, contrasting this with what she described as corruption in Washington. She emphasized her dedication to constitutional values and invited independent-minded individuals to join the Republican Party, which she said welcomes those who share her views.
Gabbard's political journey began as a member of the Democratic Party, where she served as a representative and gained attention for her anti-war stance. In recent years, she increasingly distanced herself from mainstream Democratic positions, positioning herself as a voice for independents.
