The field for Democrats has significantly narrowed over the past month, going from almost two dozen candidates in the beginning of the race to just three: former Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and a name that has, at times, been left out: Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
"In Afghanistan right now, we're spending $4 billion of your taxpayer dollars every month," Gabbard said."This money could be used here." "You could maybe say that there are certain issues that perhaps she prioritizes more than others that haven't gained as much traction, for example," she said."And of course, you also point to the big things, like she doesn't have. She doesn't have much in the way of fundraising."
Her campaign is fueled by a small team of staffers, volunteers, friends and family members. She flies commercial to cut down costs, renting at times affordable hotel rooms and Airbnbs to save as much money as possible. "It was especially meaningful to my family and me to receive such strong support from voters in my place of birth," she told ABC News following her win.And unlike several of the past 2020 candidates, Gabbard says she hasn’t spoken to Biden or Sanders.
She said Warren and California Sen. Kamala Harris -- who left the race in early December 2019 -- both had attractive resumes, but were also viewed as unelectable after the loss of the first woman to be on the top of the ticket for either party, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
