The Democrat primary election is now down to two candidates: Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.
Earlier this morning, war veteran and Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard suspended her campaign for president of the United States. With the exceptions of Biden and Sanders, Gabbard managed to outlast all 2020 Democrats, including those who entered the race before and after her.
Why Did Tulsi Gabbard Suspend Her Campaign?
The congresswoman announced the end of her presidential campaign in an email to supporters and via a video statement. In her remarks, Gabbard cited the coronavirus outbreak and Tuesday’s election results as contributing factors in her decision to no longer seek the presidency.
Important announcement.

While announcing the end of her campaign, Gabbard also endorsed Joe Biden. The war veteran explained that she’s known Biden for quite some time and even maintained a friendship with Beau, the former vice president’s late son. Shortly thereafter, Gabbard opined that Biden will bring unity and effective leadership to America.
A Review of Tulsi Gabbard’s Run for President
The Hawaii congresswoman’s run for office did not mirror the candidacies of other Democrats. From the inception of her candidacy, Gabbard expressed a willingness to speak to all Americans, including those who disagree with her. Despite taking heat from members of her own party, Gabbard never wavered in her values.
