Tulsi Gabbard turned down RFK Jr.'s offer to be his running mate, she says
ABC News ^ | April 2, 2024 | Beatrice Peterson

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022, declined an offer to be Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate in his independent presidential bid, she tells ABC News.

"I met with Kennedy several times, and we have become good friends," she said in a statement. "He asked if I would be his running mate. After careful consideration, I respectfully declined."

Gabbard declined to explain why she turned down that offer, which has not previously been reported.

She is among an eclectic group of people whom Kennedy had considered for the role, including former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura and TV host Mike Rowe.

He announced at an Oakland, California, rally last week that he had chosen Silicon Valley lawyer Nicole Shanahan, whose younger age, work in health and artificial intelligence appealed to him.

Having artificial intelligence is now a plus?

I think RFK, Jr., would have won more support if he had picked Tulsi or Aaron Rodgers rather than the woman no one had heard of before.

Kennedy probably too conservative for her.

RFK Jr is no friend of women. Tulsi did the right thing.

I wonder if Tulsi realizes she's not Constitutionally eligible to be vice president because she's not an Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 natural born Citizen being born in an unincorporated territory?

The Kenyan made that point moot.

She’s eligible. Her father was a citizen at birth through his father and her mother is from Illinois. Both of her parents were citizens at her birth. That’s more than Obama and Cruz. Our current VP is ineligible because both of her parents were not citizens at her birth, but the media just said she was because she was born here.

The two major political parties, by simultaneously putting up non-NBCs as their respective POTUS nominees, effectively declared Mutually Assured Destruction toward each other during that POTUS election cycle and, by so doing, corruptly euthanized, or emasculated, or robbed of most if not all distinguishing power, the Constitutional POTUS NBC requirement.

The U.S. is a blood nation, not a land nation. It only matters who your parents are. It doesn’t matter where you are born. They both have to be US citizens at the time of your birth to be a NBC. The exception is that the married husband can confer citizenship on the wife for this purpose.
