Gabbard, who is an Army National Guard veteran, unsuccessfully ran for president in 2020 as a Democrat, but she left the Democratic Party in October 2022. She officially joined the Republican Party in October 2024, although she endorsed Trump before that and actively participated in his presidential campaign.
