In recent months, rumors have been swirling regarding who President Donald Trump will pick to run as his running mate for the coming November election.
Trump has several high-profile names on his shortlist for vice president.
However, there are a few other outsider choices that many believe could be brilliant picks at an election-strategic level.
One of those outsider picks is former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard was formerly a Democrat who left her party in a blaze of glory.
Her name comes up on quite a few lists.
According to The Post Millennial, Gabbard is ready and willing to sign up if she gets the call from Trump.
During a recent interview with Charlie Kirk, Gabbard said she “would be honored to serve” as Trump’s VP.
While most of Trump’s potential VP picks dance around the subject when asked, Gabbard was 100% transparent in confirming she would accept the offer as Trump’s VP.
Some political observers believe that Gabbard has the ability to appeal to certain demographics — especially suburban female voters — that Trump struggles to reach or convince.
“If he asks me to serve alongside him, I would be honored to do so, to serve my country in that way and to bring the experience and, frankly, the strength and courage that comes from that experience, to bring about the real transformational change that I know he seeks to bring about to our country’s government and that our country actually needs,” Gabbard told Kirk.
Gabbard went on to explain why she feels it’s important that Trump pick someone who has America’s true best interests at heart.
“To take border security seriously, actually secure our border, to root out the corruption that is so deeply entrenched in so many of our government institutions, and bring about what is truly a government of, by, and for the people,” Gabbard said.
She added:
“Too many politicians in Washington, you know, they’ll try to tweak around the edges and make it sound like they’ve done something to bring about some real change but the rot is deep, and we need leaders of courage who will stand up to the pressures of the Washington establishment that comes from both parties to do what’s right and make sure that our government is actually focused on serving the well being of the American people, rather than seeing us as their minions who only exist to serve them and their interests.”

Recently, Trump hinted that he plans to have his VP picked by July, before the Republican National Convention that will be held in Wisconsin.
Trump said at the time:
“I’ll be picking, but probably not too much before the convention, which I happen to be having in the great state of Wisconsin.”
Gabbard left the Democratic Party officially in 2022 in a scathing rebuke of what the party had become in recent years.
