Tulsi Gabbard has overtaken former Vice President Mike Pence as the third favorite candidate to win the 2024 GOP nomination, according to bookmakers
And it comes less than 48 hours after she fled the Democratic Party
British gambling company Betfair found that Gabbard’s odds of winning the GOP presidential nomination stand at 10-1
Former President Donald Trump is still the favorite with 11-8 odds, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with 12-5 odds
Pence, who had been in third place, moved to fourth with 16-1, according to Newsweek
Gabbard, who left Congress in 2021, announced Tuesday that she was leaving the Democratic Party, charging that her former colleagues were ‘under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness.’
She blasted Democrats for ‘racializing every issue’ and stoking ‘anti-white racism.’
And said they were ‘hostile’ to people of faith and demonized the police.
Gabbard ended her statement by saying that Democrats were ‘dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.’
Her announcement was met with excitement by a number of figures on the right, welcoming her to the fold.
