Tulsi Gabbard Moves Forward with Presidential Bid

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) may make an announcement about a presidential bid as soon as this week, BuzzFeed News reports.

“Even in a barely formed presidential field, Gabbard would enter the race as an underdog. She did not rate a mention in a Des Moines Register/CNN poll of the Democratic presidential field last week. House members have an inherently difficult time running for national office, as they are often little known outside their district. The last one to successfully do it was James Garfield — in 1880.”
