Tulsi Gabbard -- a military veteran and honorary co-chair of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team -- has been chosen by Trump to be his director of national intelligence.
Gabbard left the Democratic Party in 2022 after representing Hawaii in Congress for eight years and running for the party's 2020 presidential nomination. She was seen as an unusual ally with the Trump campaign, emerging as an adviser during his prep for his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, who Gabbard had debated in 2020 Democratic primaries.
"For over two decades, Tulsi has fought for our Country and the Freedoms of all Americans. As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties - She is now a proud Republican!" Trump said in a statement announcing his pick, which will need to be confirmed by the Senate.
Gabbard recently said it would be a "honor" to serve in a Trump administration as she waited for Trump to make selections for his administration. "If there's a way I can help achieve the goal of preventing World War III and nuclear war? Of course," she said in an interview with NewsNation on Monday night.
