It's possible the best candidate isn't even a member of the party.
She ran for the White House in 2020 as a Democrat, but has since left the party, declaring her independence in October 2022.
She cautioned that "The future of our country is at risk." Her former party, she said, in language similar to that she used when she announced she was leaving the Democrats' fold, is "Under the complete control of an elitist cabal of war mongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness." Never afraid to deviate from the left's rigid orthodoxy, Gabbard went against the grain of her party in 2019 while still in Congress, warning that impeaching President Donald Trump would be "Terribly divisive" for the country.
As a freshman lawmaker she asked why many Democrats weren't present for the reading of the Constitution into the Congressional Record, which she called "a great tradition," begun in 2011 after the Tea Party revolt.
As we look at their actions year after year and escalating, especially over these last few years, what they said is actually more true
The 42-year-old pointed out that her former party is at perpetual war with First and Second Amendment rights, and the current administration is focused on "Discriminating against people of faith, especially Christians, arresting peaceful pro-life protesters." More recently, at last month's Conservative Political Action Conference, she declared "Our democracy is under attack," and identified "The perpetrators" to be "Those who in the name of saving our democracy are destroying it." Though we wish she had pointed out that we're a republic, and not given in to the left's butchery of political language, we won't be too critical since it's obvious she's bolder than even some Republicans where it counts.
She has moved right since breaking with her party.
