Tulsi Gabbard has joined the Republican Party.

According to a Fox News report, former Democrat and one-time Hawaii representative Tulsi Gabbard has officially joined the Republican Party. Gabbard has been on the campaign trail to help get Donald Trump elected.

Gabbard made the announcement at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, a key swing state in the upcoming election.

Gabbard cited her admiration for President Trump’s leadership “to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party of the people and the party of peace” in part for her decision.

“I’m proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I’m joining the Republican Party. I am joining the party of the people,” said Gabbard.

“The party of equality. The party that was founded to fight against and end slavery in this country. It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president who has the courage and strength to fight for peace,” added Gabbard.

“Thank you very much, Tulsi. That’s great. Wow, that was a surprise,” said Trump. “That was really, she’s been independent for a long time. That’s a great thing. A great honor. Thank you very much, Tulsi.”
