Tulsi Gabbard
U.S. Representative
from Hawaii's 2nd district

The 2020 presidential campaign of Tulsi Gabbard, the U.S. representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district, began on January 11, 2019.[4] In January 2020, she was polling at about 1 to 2 percent.[5][6] Had she won, she would have become the first female, Hindu, and Samoan president in American history, and the youngest person to ever hold the office.[7] She made reducing military activity abroad a central message of her campaign.[8]

On March 19, 2020, Gabbard dropped out of the 2020 election and endorsed Joe Biden.[9]
