U.S. Representative
from Hawaii's 2nd district
|
||
The 2020 presidential campaign of Tulsi Gabbard, the U.S. Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district, began on January 11, 2019.[3] If Gabbard were to win, she would become the first female, Hindu, and Samoan president in American history, and would be the youngest person to ever hold the office at the age of 39.[4]
Background
Gabbard had been a rising figure in the Democratic Party in the lead-up to the 2016 election cycle, when she served as Vice-Chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).[5]
On October 19, 2018, Politico reported that Gabbard was "weighing a 2020 presidential bid" but would not make an announcement until after the 2018 midterm elections.[6] On December 12, 2018, Gabbard said on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews that she was "seriously considering" running for president in 2020.[7]
Democratic primary campaign
Launch
Gabbard confirmed her intention to seek the Democratic presidential nomination on January 11, 2019, in an interview with CNN's Van Jones.[3] On January 24, she formally launched her campaign by releasing a video on her website.[8] She held a kickoff rally in Hawaii on February 2.[9]
In her campaign launch, Gabbard called on “every one of us" to take a stand against "neolibs and neocons” from both parties “dragging us from one regime change war to the next”; the military industrial complex and foreign policy establishment starting a ‘New Cold War' arms race; and "self-serving politicians" with vested interests in perpetual war.[10]
In February 2019, an NBC news report stated that Gabbard's campaign was being promoted by a number of news and social media outlets that were linked to Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[11] Glenn Greenwald criticized NBC for relying on a firm that had previously tried to imitate "an elaborate ‘false flag’ operation" that would plant the idea that Alabama Senatorial candidate Roy Moore was being supported by a "Russian botnet".[12][13] According to Gabbard, NBC had told her would publish the story the week after her launch, but instead published it two hours before her launch speech.[14]
In a campaign email released later that week, Gabbard said that “media giants ruled by corporate interests … in the pocket of the ‘establishment war machine' deploy journalism “to silence debate and dissent” and use rhetoric “that could lead to nuclear war".[15][16][17]
Campaign management
Shortly after the announcement, campaign manager Rania Batrice and consulting firm Revolution Messaging, having been hired only for the campaign launch, departed from the campaign. Politico reported that sources "familiar with the campaign" referred to Gabbard as "indecisive and impulsive".[1] Her staff though insists that the vacancy in the campaign manager position is the result of "careful deliberation, not campaign dysfunction."[18]
Debates
Gabbard was the most searched for candidate on Google after both the first and second Democratic primary debates.[19] During the second debate, Gabbard pointedly criticized Kamala Harris's record as as attorney general of California, accusing her of holding innocent people on death row.[20][21]
In December 2018 the DNC announced its framework for the 2020 primary debates and stated, "Given the fluid nature" of the presidential nominating process, the DNC would "continuously assess" the state of the race and "make adjustments to this process as appropriate, and always transparently."[22] In May 2019, the DNC announced that candidates would need to have at least 130,000 individual donors and have received at least 2 percent support in four qualifying polls between June 28 and August 28 in order to qualify for the third primary debate.[23] Such polls could be national or early primary state polls, published by any of the 16 DNC-certified organizations.[24] On August 2nd, the Gabbard campaign announced that it had met the donor threshold to qualify, but had not yet reached the polling threshold.[25]
On August 23, the campaign released a statement noting that, in contrast to six polls being released in the two weeks following the first debate, only two were released in the two weeks following the second debate, and argued that the lack of polling was "particularly harmful to candidates with lower name-recognition" and that the poll selection process "should not be made in secret by party bosses."[26][27][28][29][30] By August 26th, two days before the deadline, the Gabbard campaign had exceeded the threshold on only two qualifying polls. The campaign called on the DNC to expand the selection of polls considered for qualification, noting that Gabbard had exceeded the 2 percent threshold on 24 other polls, including several from respected polling firms, that were not considered in the DNC's list.[31][32][33][34] On August 29, after failing to make the deadline, Gabbard again criticized the DNC's selection criteria in an appearance on Fox News, saying that the DNC poll selection process "lacks transparency".[35]
Realclearpolitics columnist Michael Tracey argued that DNC's debate qualification criteria were "increasingly absurd", citing "two polls sponsored by the two largest newspapers in two early primary states" that were not certified by the DNC.[36] Vox.com editor Aaron Rupar pushed back on claims that the process lacked transparency, writing that the qualification and polling requirements were made public months in advance, and that expanding the polling criteria so close to the debates would have constituted unfair interference.[37]
Fundraising
In mid-2017 Gabbard pledged to no longer accept money from political action committees.[38] In October 2018 The Intercept reported that she was one of only four members of Congress who had pledged not to accept corporate campaign donations.[39][40]
In the first quarter of 2019, the campaign raised $4,495,770, with $1,995,770 from individual donations and $2,500,000 transferred from Gabbard's congressional campaign.[41] The campaign has met the polling and the individual donor requirements of the DNC's qualifying criteria for participating in the June and July 2019 debates.[42]
In the second quarter of 2019, the campaign raised $1,567,204 which brings the total to $6,062,974[41] with 69.0% coming from "small dollar" donors giving $200 or less.[43]
Lawsuit against Google
On July 27, Tulsi Now Inc. filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging that the internet technology company suspended the campaign's Google Ads account without reason and that the company had treated the campaign's mail differently than it treated other campaigns' mail. The lawsuit seeks "an injunction against Google from further meddling in the election and damages of at least $50 million."[44]
Military service during campaign
Gabbard left her campaign from August 15–25 to serve with the Hawaii Army National Guard in Indonesia during a joint military training exercise with the Indonesian National Armed Forces.[45]
Polling
Gabbard has polled in single digits in national polls. Gabbard has polled at 1% in several major polls.[46][47][48] In a poll conducted between July 9 and 18 of registered Democrats in New Hampshire, Gabbard and former Representative Beto O'Rourke were tied in sixth place at 2%.[49]
On August 19, Gabbard garnered 4.8% of the Iowa State Fair Straw Poll, placing 7th in a field of 24.
