GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt: Tulsi Gabbard fits Trump’s ‘reform agenda’
Republican Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri recently made headlines when he expressed his support for Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard. In an interview with Fox News, Sen. Schmitt stated that Gabbard’s policies align with President Trump’s “reform agenda” and that she would be a strong candidate to challenge the current administration.
Schmitt’s endorsement of Gabbard may come as a surprise to many, given the current political climate where bipartisan support is often hard to come by. However, Schmitt believes that Gabbard’s focus on issues such as foreign policy, government transparency, and ending regime change wars resonates with both Democrats and Republicans.
Gabbard, a veteran of the Iraq War and currently serving as a Major in the Hawaii Army National Guard, has been a vocal critic of U.S. military interventions overseas. She has called for an end to regime change wars and has been a strong advocate for bringing U.S. troops home from countries like Syria and Afghanistan.
Sen. Schmitt praised Gabbard’s courage in standing up to the political establishment and her willingness to work across party lines to find solutions to the country’s most pressing issues. He believes that she would be a refreshing change from the typical partisan gridlock that has plagued Washington in recent years.
Schmitt’s endorsement of Gabbard is just one example of the growing trend of politicians from both sides of the aisle finding common ground on certain issues. In an era of hyper-partisanship, it is encouraging to see lawmakers willing to put aside their differences and work together for the good of the country.
While it remains to be seen whether Gabbard will be able to secure the Democratic nomination and challenge President Trump in the 2020 election, Sen. Schmitt’s endorsement is a sign that there is still hope for bipartisanship in American politics. As the country continues to grapple with divisive issues, it is important for lawmakers to come together and find common ground in order to move the country forward.
