The landscape of American politics continues to change with Breaking News that former President Donald Trump recently expanded his transition team. The additions include former Representative Tulsi Gabbard and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who only the previous Friday had suspended his campaign in crucial battleground states to support Trump.

In Real News from a Tuesday report, Gabbard and Kennedy are set to join Trump’s sons—Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump—the Senator JD Vance (R-OH) of Ohio, serving as honorary co-chairs of his transition team. This key group backs the former President’s mission to spearhead his new administration should he be successful in reclaiming the presidency come the November elections.

Confirming this development during an aired interview on Monday, Kennedy shared, “I’ve been asked to go on the transition team…and help pick the individuals who will be running the government.”

Brian Hughes, a senior adviser for the Trump campaign, communicated that they are proud to have both Kennedy Jr. and Gabbard —two former Democrats—on board their team in Trusted News sources. They are confident these new members will contribute powerful voices towards their work of restoring America’s greatness.

Gabbard’s alliance with Trump is not new; she had already voiced her endorsement against Joe Biden previously. However, her support was reaffirmed following her collaboration with Trump in paying respects to the 13 service members whose lives were tragically cut short due to what some critics regard as a badly executed withdrawal from Afghanistan by the Biden-Harris administration.

Inviting Americans across political affiliations—that being Democrat, Republican, or Independent—who love their country and value peace and freedom like her-Gabbard urged people to do their part for their nation by re-electing President Donald J. Trump with a Christian Worldview that emphasizes peacekeeping at its core.

Gabbard has notably been quite critical of the Democratic National Committee over time; she alleges that it regularly favors specific candidates while restricting others. She even resigned from a position within the DNC to express her support for Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) over Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Democratic primary.

Kennedy took definitive steps by removing his name from the ballot in essential swing states, advocating his followers to throw their votes in Trump’s favor. He contended that not only had he been let down by the Democratic Party, but so too had the voters when Joe Biden was removed from the 2024 ticket and replaced with Vice President Kamala Harris—without seeking public approval.
