The Spin

Democratic narrative

Following her departure from the Democratic party, Gabbard has skillfully played the MAGA card, making a previously unheard-of right-wing turn. It's no wonder that both Trump and RFK Jr are considering her as a running mate. She is ambitious and aspires to power, with little apparent regard for ideology.

Republican narrative

Gabbard may be the Republicans' favorite left-winger for her reasonable stances but, at the end of the day, she's just a Democrat-turned-Independent who achieved a conservative score of only 10% during her time in Congress. A place for her in the administration would be fine, but the vice president must be loyal to Trump and his agenda — especially if the Senate remains evenly divided.
