Tulsi Gabbard Won’t Seek Re-Election to Congress in 2020

It's not yet clear where this is headed, but we urge everyone to #UniteBlue behind the 2020 Democratic nominee. "Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who has remained in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination even as her bid has failed to gain much traction in polls, announced Friday that she would not seek a fifth term in Congress. The announcement was likely to fuel speculation that Ms. Gabbard may be preparing for a third-party race for the White House, a prospect that has unnerved Democrats. Last Friday, Hillary Clinton suggested that Republicans were “grooming” her for such a bid, though Ms. Gabbard has denied any such plans. In a statement, Ms. Gabbard cited her desire to become president as the reason for not seeking re-election to her current office, telling her constituents that she would “humbly ask you for your support for my candidacy for president of the United States.”" "Ms. Gabbard was facing a challenger for her seat in Congress: State Senator Kai Kahele, who has assailed the congresswoman for missing votes and ignoring the demands of her constituents as she pursues her presidential bid."
