Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman from Hawaii and a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, is set to be the keynote speaker at a fundraiser at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
As The Hill reports:
According to an invitation shared exclusively with The Hill, Gabbard is set to be the keynote speaker at the 917 Society's annual fundraiser on March 7 for a night in Palm Beach “celebrating the Constitution.”
…
Dinner for the event costs $1,250, according to the invite.
Gabbard retired from Congress in 2021 after representing Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District. She spent much of her time in office as part of the progressive coalition, pushing further to the left than many of her liberal counterparts in the House.
Closer to the end of her career on Capitol Hill, she inched to the right and has since embraced a harder-line Republican viewpoint on some social issues, while also maintaining a Libertarian anti-interventionist approach to foreign policy.
During a town hall moderated by Laura Ingraham, Trump announced that he is considering Gabbard as a potential running mate. Gabbard left the Democratic Party in 2022.
Trump listed five other potential vice presidents:
- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
- Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy
- South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott
- Florida Rep. Byron Donalds
- South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem
