While speaking at a Trump rally in Greensboro, North Carolina Tuesday evening, former congresswoman and former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard announced she is joining the Republican Party.

Gabbard, 43, who lives in Hawaii, served in U.S. Congress from 2013 to 2021. She was the vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2013 to 2016, and ran for president in the Democrat primary in 2020.

However, Gabbard frequently spoke out against other Democrats, and clashed heavily with Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.  After leaving Congress, Gabbard began to lean more to the right, and announced in 2022 that she was leaving the Democrat Party and switching to Independent. She campaigned for many Republican candidates in the 2022 midterms, and endorsed Trump for the 2024 presidential race.

Now Gabbard has taken the next step to the right, officially becoming a Republican.

“It is because of my love for our country, and specifically because of the leadership that President Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party of the people and the party of peace, that I’m proud to stand here with you today, President Trump, and announce that I’m joining the Republican Party,” Gabbard announced Tuesday night.

The crowd roared in approval.

“I am joining the party of the people. The party of Equality. The party that was founded to fight against and end slavery in this country. It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president who has the courage and strength to fight for peace,” she added.

Below is Gabbard’s full speech at the rally in Greensboro Tuesday night.

Trump lawyer Alina Habba congratulated Gabbard, sharing a photo and writing, “Red looks good on you @TulsiGabbard, welcome to the party of America first, prosperity and safety. 🇺🇸”

Former Nascar driver Danica Patrick, who has been campaigning for Trump alongside Gabbard, posted a photo and wrote, “Look who just joined the Republican Party!!!! @TulsiGabbard is so down to earth, I mean look at her, she’s doing her own make up on the way to our event a few weeks ago. I thought it was so cute that I had to grab a pic! She has so much integrity, she very smart, and she clearly has passion for our country. Her bravery continues to inspire us all to follow a moral compass and think for ourselves! 🙌🏼”

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), who left the Democrat Party in 2010, wrote:

Welcome to the Republican Party @TulsiGabbard.
We are the party of the people.
We are the party of equality.
We are the party of peace.
We are the party of common sense.
And together, we will UNITE AMERICA 🇺🇸
