Tulsi Gabbard wanted to be president. Now she wants to be vice president. And while that’s hardly unusual, the paths — plural — she’s considering to get there are. Neither involve the Democratic Party, which Gabbard used to represent until she left it in 2022. The four-term former member of Congress from Hawaii is now getting consideration for both former President Donald Trump’s and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
” “Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard believes these questions to be premature,” said Erika Tsuji, who was also the communications director for Gabbard’s 2020 campaign. “She’d be happy to take a rain check if things move from speculation into reality.” Trump’s campaign declined to comment. Kennedy’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment. Gabbard has also kept a toe in Libertarian politics, appearing at New Hampshire Liberty Forum over the weekend.
