This former ally just agreed to help Trump beat Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris is finding out that not everyone is thrilled with her becoming the presumptive Democrat nominee for President.
Now she’s worried Donald Trump found his ace in the hole.
And this former ally just agreed to help Trump beat Kamala Harris.
Former Kamala Harris rival Tulsi Gabbard joins Trump’s campaign
Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) joined former President Donald Trump’s campaign to help him prepare for the September 10 debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Ms. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party after her 2020 presidential run and has rebranded herself as a celebrity among Trump’s base of support, has long been friendly with Mr. Trump and was briefly considered to be his running mate. But her involvement in Mr. Trump’s debate preparation, which has not previously been reported, was partly because of her own performance in a 2019 Democratic presidential primary debate, when Ms. Gabbard eviscerated Ms. Harris in a memorable onstage encounter,” The New York Times reported.
Gabbard ran for President in 2020 as a Democrat but left the party in 2022 saying the party left her as it embraced war-mongering in Ukraine and anti-white racism as its ideological foundations.
Since leaving the Democrat Party, Gabbard became a MAGA star as she endorsed conservatives like U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) and former newscaster Kari Lake in their Senate campaigns as well as frequently appearing on former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s old show.
She warned about the woke takeover of the Democrat Party and the ideological poison that critical race theory and identity politics injected into the American bloodstream.
Trump even put Gabbard – an Iraq War veteran – on the shortlist to be his running mate after hosting her at Mar-a-Lago to discuss how to make sure America First conservatives staffed the Pentagon in a potential second Trump administration.
Why Trump brought Gabbard on board
If anyone is well suited to help Trump prepare for a debate with Kamala, it’s Tulsi Gabbard.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt released a statement saying the former President has “proven to be one of the best debaters in political history as evidenced by his knockout blow to Joe Biden. He does not need traditional debate prep but will continue to meet with respected policy advisers and effective communicators like Tulsi Gabbard, who successfully dominated Kamala Harris on the debate stage in 2020.”
After Kamala briefly rose to the top of the polls in the 2020 Democrat primary, Gabbard obliterated her on the debate stage.
These confrontations – especially one where Gabbard slammed Kamala as another establishment lackey copying Hillary Clinton’s globalist foreign policy – began her slide in the polls and the end of her campaign.
