In American politics, former Democrats Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard face both support and opposition as they align with the Trump administration. Their shifts have angered members of their former party, while also threatening GOP moderates. Kennedy, skeptical of vaccines, and Gabbard, with her past controversial views, may struggle to secure confirmation for their nominated roles. Despite backlash, their transition into the MAGA movement illustrates stark examples of political realignment and reflects the divisive nature of bipartisan sentiment toward political opportunism.
Each migrated - gradually, then all at once - into the MAGA movement. For most Democrats today, their departures are welcome news, even if their endorsements of Trump in 2024, at the very minimum, seemed to usher a new group of voters into the Republican coalition.
Their reinventions are great American political stories. They are the kind of characters a novelist or showrunner would fail to imagine. Too peculiar. Too unrealistic.
