Tulsi Gabbard Announces Plan To Support Trump, End Yet Another Kamala Campaign

Former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard endorsed former president Donald Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday.

Gabbard appeared with Trump at a campaign event in Detroit on the third anniversary of the terror attack that killed 13 U.S. service members during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, urged Americans of all political stripes to support Trump’s bid for the White House.

“I am proud to stand here before you today, whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or an independent, if you love our country as I do, if you cherish peace and freedom as we do, I invite you to join me in doing all we can to save our country and elect President Donald J. Trump and send him back to the White House to do the tough work of saving our country and serving the people,” Gabbard said.

Gabbard first endorsed Trump last month when President Joe Biden was the presumed Democratic nominee for president. Biden dropped out of the race days later over a feeble performance he delivered during the first Democratic debate — and after facing backlash from Democratic lawmakers, donors, and media members.

“We need leaders back in the White House who are committed to the Constitution, defending our God-given freedoms, and towards a peaceful and prosperous future. Donald Trump and JD Vance are such leaders, and I look forward to doing all I can to get them elected in November,” Gabbard posted on X on July 16.

Trump has worked with Gabbard to prepare to debate Harris. Gabbard ran against Harris in the Democratic presidential primary in 2020 and gained national attention for sharply criticizing the Democratic Party. Gabbard was also instrumental in ending Harris’ own candidacy at the time by attacking Harris’ record as a state prosecutor in California.

“She put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations, and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana,” Gabbard said at the time. “She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California. And she fought to keep a bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.”

Lizzo Said She’s ‘Taking A Gap Year’ Following Harassment Lawsuit Drama

Lizzo announced that she’s taking a hiatus from the limelight after multiple lawsuits were filed against her last year by former employees. 

“I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace,” she captioned a video clip of herself standing in the rain while closing her eyes. Lizzo shared three other posts to Instagram over the weekend, telling followers she was in Bali. “Unfortunately I’ll be posting way too many bikini pics,” she wrote in another update.

“I’m the happiest I’ve been in 10 months,” the singer shared in an update posted in May. “The strange thing about depression is you don’t know you’re in it until you’re out of it. I’m definitely not all the way as carefree as I used to be. But the dark cloud that followed me every day is finally clearing up. My smile reaches my eyes again and that’s a win.”

This update came two months after she called out followers for criticizing her.

“I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the Internet,” Lizzo said in March. “All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.”

The celeb said, “I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views… being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look… my character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name. I didn’t sign up for this sh** — I QUIT.”

Shortly after, she confirmed that she wasn’t quitting music forever, but was rather leaving behind “negative energy.” 

“I just need to clarify — when I say I quit, I mean, I quit giving any negative energy attention,” she said. “What I’m not gonna quit is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting with people. I know I’m not alone. In no way, shape or form am I the only person who is experiencing that negative voice that seems to be louder than the positive … I’m going to keep moving forward, I’m going to keep being me.”

These updates all come after three of Lizzo’s former backup dancers sued her for creating a toxic work environment and sexual harassment. The original lawsuits were filed in August 2023. Later, six additional employees came forward with allegations of sexual harassment, per Page Six.
