“For too long establishment leaders from both parties have sought to enrich themselves, play games, and build up their power while ignoring and even enabling the suffering of millions of hard-working Americans,” Gabbard wrote in her endorsement of Kari Lake.

“Kari Lake is a leader who puts people first, is fighting for border security, energy independence, public safety, and other policies that actually make life better and more affordable for the American people. Kari Lake isn’t afraid to call out the warmongering elitist cabal of permanent Washington and the Military Industrial Complex, and their propagandists in the mainstream media. I look forward to supporting @KariLake ahead of these critical midterm elections.”

Fresh off announcing her departure from the Democratic Party, Tulsi Gabbard will campaign for rising MAGA star Kari Lake, who is running for Arizona governor.

Lake’s campaign announced Gabbard, who used to be a representative from Hawaii, will appear for an Arizona Young Republican Engagement Forum in Chandler, Arizona, on Tuesday.

The event, which is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. local time, will also feature Blake Masters, GOP candidate for U.S. Senate, and Abe Hamadeh, candidate for Arizona attorney general.

Gabbard, who once was vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and ran for president in 2020, announced last week she was leaving the Democratic Party, claiming it is now under the “control of an elitist cabal of warmongers.”

Gabbard already turned out for Republican New Hampshire Senate nominee Don Bolduc. Meanwhile, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) is hitting the campaign trail for Lake as he embarks on a fall tour of several states around the country to support GOP candidates running in the midterm elections.
