In a jaw-dropping political move, former Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard announced she is officially joining the Republican Party, stunning Donald Trump and igniting cheers from a packed rally in Greensboro, North Carolina. Gabbard, who once ran for president as a Democrat, praised Trump’s leadership and called the GOP “the party of common sense,” embracing the former president onstage to loud applause.
Trump, visibly surprised, called the announcement a “great honor,” while Gabbard slammed the Democratic Party as “unrecognizable” and took sharp aim at Kamala Harris, reigniting the political landscape with her dramatic switch.
