Trump Lands Endorsement from Tulsi Gabbard: ‘He Keeps His Heart in His Decisions’

Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign just got a significant boost with a big-name endorsement—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The environmental activist and longtime Democrat is now backing Trump for the White House. It’s a move that’s left many on the left scratching their heads, but for Trump, it’s another feather in his already impressive cap. Kennedy’s endorsement is a clear signal that Trump’s appeal is stretching far beyond traditional Republican voters.

RFK’s endorsement could be a major boost for Trump as he battles to return to the White House.

Recently, Kennedy predicted that other high-profile Democrats would endorse Trump. As the Democratic Party crumbles before our eyes, nominating a woman who received zero votes, some liberals might jump ship. Voters are growing tired of the party’s broken promises; so have members of the party. Now, another famous former liberal candidate is backing the Trump train.

From Breitbart:
Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (I-HI) endorsed former President Donald Trump for president on Monday, noting that during his first term as president, he did not “start any new wars.”…

“I mean what I say when I share with you that I know that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a President and Commander-in-Chief bears for every single one of our lives,” Gabbard added. “Whether you’re a soldier, you’re an Airmen, a Marine, sailor, or a Coastie, he keeps us in his heart in the decisions that he makes. We saw this through his first term in the presidency, when he not only didn’t start any new wars, he took action to de-escalate and prevent wars.”

But Kennedy isn’t the only surprising figure throwing support behind Trump. Enter Tulsi Gabbard, former Democratic congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate. On Monday, Gabbard made it official: she’s endorsing Trump. This announcement comes hot on the heels of Kennedy’s endorsement, making it clear that Trump is successfully courting some of the more independent-minded figures on the left. Gabbard didn’t mince words when she explained her decision—she’s backing Trump because, in her words, he’s the only candidate who knows how to keep America out of endless wars.

Gabbard made her endorsement during the National Guard Association of the United States conference, where Trump introduced her to the audience. She praised Trump for his track record during his first term, particularly noting that he did not start any new wars—a rare feat for a modern president. “He keeps us in his heart in the decisions that he makes,” Gabbard said, emphasizing that Trump’s approach to foreign policy is a major reason why she’s supporting him.

Trump, according to Gabbard, showed the courage needed in a Commander-in-Chief. He exhausted diplomatic measures, met with adversaries, and kept war as the last resort. In contrast, Gabbard took a swipe at Vice President Kamala Harris, pointing out that under the current administration, the U.S. is facing multiple conflicts around the globe and is closer to the brink of nuclear war than ever before. Gabbard’s criticism wasn’t just about foreign policy; it was also a clear statement of why she believes Trump is the better choice to lead the country.

Gabbard also shared a poignant moment from earlier that day. She had joined Trump at Arlington Cemetery to honor the 13 service members who lost their lives during the Biden administration’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal. She described the experience as deeply moving, noting Trump’s sincere appreciation for the fallen soldiers and their families. “I felt the sorrow that he shared with them in their loss,” she said, highlighting Trump’s genuine connection to those who serve.

Gabbard, who has long been a critic of the Democrat Party, didn’t hold back on her disapproval of Vice President Harris either. She recalled how she had criticized Harris during the 2020 campaign for her record as California’s Attorney General, particularly for jailing people over marijuana offenses. Gabbard’s shift from Democrat to Trump supporter might seem surprising, but for those who’ve followed her career, it’s clear that she’s always been willing to challenge the status quo.

With Gabbard and Kennedy now in Trump’s corner, it’s evident that his 2024 campaign is drawing support from some unexpected places. And as the race heats up, these endorsements could be game-changers. Trump isn’t just uniting Republicans; he’s bringing in independents and even former Democrats who are ready for a change. The stage is set, and Trump’s army of supporters—old and new—is gearing up for what promises to be an epic showdown in November.

Key Takeaways:

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, both former Democrats, have endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential race.
  • Gabbard praised Trump for his foreign policy during his first term, emphasizing that he did not start any new wars and prioritized diplomacy.
  • Gabbard joined Trump at Arlington Cemetery to honor service members killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal, highlighting his genuine connection with military families.
