By Last week, in the wake of the Democratic National Convention, former President Donald Trump received one of the biggest endorsements from one of the biggest dynasties in the Democratic Party when Robert Kennedy, Jr. dropped his independent campaign for president and joined him on the stage in Arizona.
Kennedy cited free speech, the war in Ukraine and “a war on our children” as the main reasons he was backing the former president.
“These are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump,” Kennedy said at his event in Phoenix.
Kennedy followed up his Friday speech with an interview on Fox News Sunday and said he wasn’t going to be the only Democrat who’ll be switching parties and to expect a “series of announcements about other Democrats who are joining his 2024 campaign.”

On Monday, the prediction proved true. The Washington Examiner reports that Trump landed another Democratic supporter, Tulsi Gabbard, the former congresswoman from Hawaii.
The support from Gabbard, a former Democrat who ran for president against Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020 and served in the Army National Guard, came as the two marked the three-year anniversary of the airport bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, that left 13 U.S. service members dead.
“This administration has us facing multiple wars on multiple fronts and regions around the world and closer to the brink of nuclear war than we ever have been before,” Gabbard said. “This is one of the main reasons why I’m committed to doing all that I can to send President Trump back to the White House, where he can once again serve us as our commander in chief.”
Gabbard, who has been helping Trump prepare for his debate against Harris, served in Congress from 2013 to 2021 and left the Democratic Party in 2022 because it had become what she called an “elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness.” She has since stumped with Republicans on the trail, including in the 2022 election.
Her endorsement of Trump centered on foreign policy and avoiding armed conflict overseas. Describing the United States as on “the brink of war,” Gabbard said Trump “understands the grave responsibility that a president and commander in chief bears for every single one of our lives.”

During a celebration of the National Guard at a conference in Michigan, Gabbard, who famously ended the 2020 presidential campaign of Kamala Harris, joined Trump, saying, “We as Americans must stand together to reject this anti-freedom culture of political retaliation and abuse of power. We can’t allow our country to be destroyed by politicians who will put their own power ahead of the interests of the American people, our freedom, and our future.”
Gabbard’s endorsement came on the third anniversary of the suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members following the chaotic Afghanistan War withdrawal, an incident that Biden refused to accept happened during his debate with Trump, explained Fox News.
“I am proud to stand here before you today, whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican or an Independent,” Gabbard said. “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 that 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 served as the Democratic representative for Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021 and ran for president in 2019 against Harris and Biden.
