Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is currently aiding former President Donald Trump in preparing for his upcoming debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. Gabbard emphasized the significance of this face-off as an opportunity for voters to compare the policy records of the candidates.
Gabbard acknowledged Harris's experience and cautioned against underestimating her, noting that both candidates have held high-ranking positions in the government. She expressed her intention to assist Trump by drawing from her own experiences of engaging in intense debate exchanges with Harris during the 2020 primary.
Gabbard aims to highlight instances where Harris has allegedly shifted away from her previous positions and records, contrasting them with her current statements as the Democratic nominee. Harris, on the other hand, defended her policy changes by emphasizing that her core values remain consistent.
Recently, Gabbard and former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have joined Trump's transition team after endorsing him. While Gabbard has hinted at potential roles in a second Trump administration, such as secretary of state or defense secretary, she clarified that she has not discussed this directly with Trump.
Gabbard stressed the importance of distinguishing between Harris and Trump in terms of their potential presidencies and roles as commander in chief. The collaboration between Gabbard and Trump underscores the strategic approach being taken in the lead-up to the debate.
