Columbia: Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has suspended her presidential campaign, ending a long-shot effort that saw her feuding with Hillary Clinton and raising fears among Democrats that she would mount a third-party 2020 bid.
In an email and video posted to Twitter on Thursday, Gabbard offered her full support to former US vice president Joe Biden, saying “it's clear that Democratic primary voters have chosen" him to take on President Donald Trump in November.
Noting their political differences, Gabbard said she respected Biden and had confidence in the motivations of his campaign effort.
“Although I may not agree with the vice president on every issue, I know that he has a good heart, and he's motivated by his love for our country and the American people," Gabbard said. "I'm confident that he will lead our country, guided by the spirit of aloha respect and compassion, and thus help heal the divisiveness that has been tearing our country apart.”
