00:00 With the onset of presidential election fever in the United States, speculation swirls as
00:07 Republican and former President Donald Trump unveils Tulsi Gabbard as a potential running
00:13 mate.
00:14 The surprising move comes after Trump dismissed Indian-American candidate Vivek Ramaswamy
00:18 for the vice president role and instead included Gabbard among five other contenders for the
00:22 position.
00:23 Tulsi Gabbard, a former US representative, once adorned the Democratic Party with her
00:27 charisma and even pursued a presidential bid.
00:29 In her recent development, Trump hinted at considering at least five high-profile Republicans
00:34 and one former Democrat for the running mate slot in the general election.
00:38 Aside from Gabbard, names like Saudi Governor Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Biden-Donald and
00:43 South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem have been tossed into the mix, as reported by the New
00:48 York Post.
00:49 Trump's selection of Gabbard for the VP candidacy has raised eyebrows among political
00:52 analysts who perceive it as an unconventional choice.
00:58 Tulsi Gabbard, a former US representative hailing from Hawaii, has captured the spotlight
01:02 with her distinctive political stance.
01:04 Born in 1981 in American Samoa, Gabbard's early life was steeped in a commitment to
01:09 service, notably highlighted by her deployment to Iraq as a member of the Hawaii Army National
01:14 Guard.
01:15 Her military service deeply shaped her political ideology, leading her to advocate for a non-interventionist
01:19 foreign policy and to vocally critique US entanglements in foreign conflicts.
01:24 Followed by teachings from the Science of Identity Foundation, a splinter group of the
01:28 ISKCON, Gabbard's upbringing further molded her worldview.
01:32 Gabbard's political ascent commenced at a remarkably young age when she was elected
01:36 to the Hawaii House of Representatives at just 21, solidifying her status as one of
01:41 the youngest legislators in Hawaiian history.
01:43 Subsequently, she served on the Honolulu City Council before securing a seat in the US House
01:48 of Representatives in 2012.
01:50 Nevertheless, Gabbard's political journey has been marred by controversy.
01:54 Her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad drew sharp criticism, with many viewing
01:59 it as a legitimization of a leader accused of egregious human rights violations.
02:04 Additionally, her evolving stances on social issues, notably LGBTQ+ rights, have invited
02:10 scrutiny from both allies and adversaries alike.
02:13 In February 2019, Gabbard embarked on her 2020 presidential campaign, becoming the first
02:18 female combat veteran to pursue the presidency.
02:21 Despite her historic candidacy, she struggled to meet the polling thresholds for the third
02:25 presidential debate, facing challenges in gaining widespread traction.
