Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : "I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights, and securing Peace through Strength," said a statement from Trump.
51% : In April 2022, she posted a video message to social media saying Florida's recently approved "don't say gay" law, limiting school instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, didn't go far enough.
43% : In 2024, when she was a Hawaii state representative, she argued against a bill to establish civil unions for same-sex couples.
39% : She became a Republican this year, endorsed Trump for president, and helped prepare him for his only debate with Kamala Harris.
33% : She said President Joe Biden's administration is targeting as terrorists "parents who are vocally standing in opposition to radical curriculums and explicit sexual content being taught to their kids in public schools" and is erasing women by supporting transgender people.
31% : "To try to act as if there is a difference between 'civil unions' and same-sex marriage is dishonest, cowardly and extremely disrespectful to the people of Hawaii," Gabbard testified.
29% : Trump announced his choice of Gabbard Wednesday.
