Former Hawaii representative Gabbard appeared on Fox News’ Fox & Friends said she would be “open” to a conversation with Trump on running as his 2024 running mate.
“I’d be open to that conversation. My mission in life is to serve our country and serve the American people and find the best way to be able to do that,” Gabbard said.
Gabbard inked a deal with Elon Musk to host a show on X to “defend free speech”, stated that she will be sharing stories of those whose “voices have been silenced”.
