Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a member of the House of Representatives and the Hawaii National Guard, has ended her presidential campaign.
At times she had to deal with the remnants of the 2016 election, in which she endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders and abandoned a post with the Democratic Party over concerns about its impartiality.
Gabbard had spent much of the beginning of the year campaigning in New Hampshire, which has a notorious independent streak and where voters went to the polls on Feb 11.The Hawaii congresswoman went on to win two delegates on Super Tuesday in the American Samoa Democratic caucuses. Throughout the campaign she spent $5.3 million, with $2.9 million in ads on Facebook and Google,Gabbard filed a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton in January in the U.S.
In the lawsuit, Gabbard claims that Clinton made her remarks as"retribution" for the Hawaii congresswoman endorsing Sanders over Clinton in 2016.During the Thursday video message, Gabbard extended her best wishes to Sanders, his wife Jane, members of his campaign and his supporters"for the work they've done." Sanders is trailing Biden in Democratic delegates.
"I have a great appreciation for Sen. Sanders’ love for our country and the American people and his sincere desire to improve the lives of all Americans," she said. Gabbard, who has represented Hawaii in the House since 2013, announced her presidential campaign in February 2019. She also serves as a captain in the Hawaii National Guard and was deployed in Iraq, serving in a field medical unit from 2004 to 2005. Gabbard is the first Hindu member of Congress.“I love our country.
