Tulsi Gabbard Declines Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s VP Offer

Gabbard's decision comes amid her and Kennedy's shared disillusionment with the Democratic Party.

Tulsi Gabbard, former Democratic Congresswoman from Hawaii, declined an offer to be Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate in his independent presidential bid.
Gabbard cited her meetings with Kennedy and their friendship but did not disclose specific reasons for her decision to decline the offer.
Kennedy has since announced Nicole Shanahan as his vice-presidential pick, a Silicon Valley lawyer and investor.
Gabbard has previously expressed openness to joining former President Donald Trump's ticket as a potential vice-presidential candidate.
Kennedy and Gabbard have both publicly expressed disillusionment with the Democratic Party, leading to their departures.
