Former Democrat congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is now making campaign stops for Republicans after formally leaving the Democratic Party last week. (RELATED: Tulsi Gabbard Leaves Democratic Party)
Gabbard will make two campaign appearances today, starting with one on behalf of Karoline Leavitt, the Republican nominee in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, where the two will discuss the “energy crisis impacting New Hampshire Residents.”
Following the event with Leavitt in New Hampshire, Gabbard will jet to Arizona for an event with MAGA superstars Kari Lake and Blake Masters in Chandler later this evening.
Gabbard has been on a several-day swing through the key electoral state of New Hampshire. She campaigned with the state’s Republican Senate nominee, retired Gen. Don Bolduc prior to appearing with Leavitt.
The New Hampshire Journal laid out the current state of the New Hampshire Senate race in the following way while reporting on an event Gabbard joined Bolduc for on Sunday:
“A telling snapshot of the New Hampshire U.S. Senate race: Republican Don Bolduc campaigning with a Democrat he disagrees with on many key issues while Sen. Maggie Hassan won’t campaign with the Democratic president she has voted with more than 96 percent of the time.
It was a “strange bedfellows” weekend in Granite State politics. Tulsi Gabbard, the former congresswoman who ran for president as a Democrat in 2020 and is widely credited with ending Kamala Harris’s White House bid, was on the campaign trail with Bolduc.
The retired general who is trailing in the polls admitted he does not agree on much with Gabbard, who just left the Democratic Party last week. But Bolduc called her “a fellow change agent and independent-minded outsider willing to speak truth to power.”
Gabbard shared on Twitter Sunday that she was supporting Bolduc because “our fundamental freedoms are under attack” and she “has no doubt that he will do all he can to stand up to those in Washington who seek to undermine our God-given civil liberties enshrined in the Constitution.”
Another stop on Gabbard’s itinerary will be Virginia this Saturday when she will join VA-07 Republican nominee Yesli Vega for a get-out-the-vote rally in Triangle, adjacent to the town of Quantico.
The following week, Gabbard is listed as a headliner for United States Senate candidate and Congressman Markwayne Mullin in Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma campaign stop — at least — will be for a longtime personal friend. Mullin and Gabbard have enjoyed a friendship for years since they both served in the United States House of Representatives and were part of a bipartisan congressional workout group, dating back as far as 2014.
