Tulsi Gabbard caused a stir last week when she formally left the Democratic Party. The move was not necessarily surprising – Tulsi had been critical of the Democratic Party, and she even attended CPAC earlier in the year. But Gabbard’s departure was unusual. She ran for president as a Democrat just two years ago.
Now an independent, Gabbard’s name is being floated as a potential GOP presidential candidate, and also as a potential running mate for Donald Trump in 2024.
Actually, bookmaker Betfair has placed Gabbard as the third most likely candidate to win the GOP nomination – at 10 to 1 – displacing former Vice President Mike Pence to fourth place. Betfair still has Trump as the favorite, at 11-to-8 odds. If Trump does win another nomination, Betfair has Gabbard as the second most likely candidate to join him on the ticket, with 4-to-1 odds. Ron DeSantis is the favorite to be Trump’s running mate, at 16-to-5.
