Mar-a-Lago Fundraiser to Feature Tulsi Gabbard as Headliner

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii is set to be the keynote speaker at a fundraiser at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort next month, according to an invitation obtained by The Hill.

Gabbard is scheduled to speak at the 917 Society’s annual fundraiser on March 7 for a night in Palm Beach “celebrating the Constitution.”

Earlier this week, Trump confirmed to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that Gabbard was on his short list of potential running mates, the only onetime Democrat to be mentioned.

According to the invitation, dinner for the event will set guests back $1,250.

Although Trump and Gabbard share an antipathy to foreign wars, the onetime Democratic presidential candidate has taken positions over the years that could alienate her from mainstream Republican voters. Gabbard has declared support for free college tuition, a ban on so-called assault weapons, few limits on abortion, closing nuclear power plants, and studying reparations, according to Politico.

Gabbard left the Democratic Party in 2022.
