The Spin

Republican narrative

Following shortly after RFK Jr.'s pivotal endorsement, Tulsi Gabbard's decision to publicly support Trump is yet another example of the woke establishment continuing to alienate Democratic Party members with its elitist ideology. While the Republican Party remains a big tent coalition of pro-freedom ideas, Democrats continue to betray and exclude all individuals who push back against their oppressive identity politics agenda.

Democratic narrative

Having once described Trump as "corrupt," "unfit to serve," and "unqualified" to be president, Gabbard's endorsement of the Republican candidate will leave many wondering what has changed since the 2020 election to cause such a bad faith embrace of MAGA ideology. She's also criticized Trump on foreign policy issues, meaning this decision is less about her nebulous beliefs and more about morphing into what's best for her political aspirations.
