Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, a prominent Hindu-American leader and ex-presidential candidate, has joined former President Donald Trump’s transition team for his 2024 campaign. Alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Gabbard’s inclusion signals a bipartisan strategy aimed at diversifying Trump’s appeal. Known for her independent stances, Gabbard recently endorsed Trump and is assisting in preparing for critical debates, including a face-off with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Her role, alongside Kennedy’s, underscores Trump’s effort to forge alliances across party lines, reflecting a calculated approach to expand his voter base. This strategic addition is expected to influence key policy directions for the team.
As Trump’s campaign picks up momentum, Indian-American diplomats like External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval are likely to engage with the new team to reinforce India-U.S. relations, signaling potential diplomatic collaborations in the future.
