According to sources “It is this principle of service above self that is at the heart of every soldier, at the heart of every service member, and it is in this spirit that today he announced his candidacy for President of the United States of America”. Accordingly “She will bring this soldier’s principles to the White House, restoring the values of dignity, honor and respect to the presidency and above all else, love for our people and love for our country”.
Furthermore “She asks you to join her in putting this spirit, this spirit of service above self at the forefront and to stand up against the forces of greed and corruption”. Gabbard said “The road ahead will not be easy. The battles will be tough. The obstacles great, but she knew when we stand united by our love for our people and for our country, there is no obstacle we cannot object.
Moreover the official launch of the 37 year old four term Democratic congresswoman’s campaign gives her presidential bid a chance at a reset after weeks of discord heading into the announcement. Apparently Gabbard, an Iraq War veteran who gained national prominence in 2016 as an outspoken supporter of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, will run for President as an anti-interventionalist Democrat who supports a populist economic agenda. Gabbard, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, is the only military veteran to declare her candidacy and could be relying on her two tours in the Middle East to differentiate her from many Democratic presidential candidates.
