Donald Trump is gathering up as many allies as possible. He needs all the help he can get to defeat the radical Left.
And this new Trump campaign alliance has the Democrat Party in complete panic mode.
In a strategic move just 70 days before the upcoming election, former President Donald Trump has added two former Democrats, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, to his transition team.
This decision is aimed at shoring up support in key battleground states as Trump seeks to return to the White House.
Both Kennedy and Gabbard, once prominent figures in the Democratic Party, recently gave enthusiastic endorsements to Trump’s candidacy.
While Trump, now 78, had already selected his transition team, the endorsements from these high-profile defectors prompted him to bring them into the fold.
Kennedy, a member of the legendary Kennedy political dynasty, threw his support behind Trump last Friday after ending his own run for president.
Meanwhile, Gabbard, a former U.S. Representative from Hawaii and 2020 Democratic presidential contender, endorsed Trump on Monday. Her backing came during a surprise appearance at a National Guard conference in Detroit.

“As President Trump’s broad coalition of supporters and endorsers expands across partisan lines, we are proud that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have been added to the Trump/Vance Transition team,” said Brian Hughes, a senior Trump adviser.
“We look forward to having their powerful voices on the team as we work to restore America’s greatness,” Hughes added.
According to a source close to Trump’s campaign, the two former Democrats will focus on key battleground states and play an active role in the final stretch of the campaign.
“Expect both RFK Jr. and Tulsi to be very active on the campaign trail for Trump over the next two months,” the source said.
“These weren’t just fleeting endorsements; they’re both fully on the team and will be utilized in battleground states regularly.”
Hughes also indicated that the pair will help counter Vice President Kamala Harris’ policies, which he described as “disastrous and authoritarian.”
“Along with their endorsements, voters around the country will see RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard helping inform voters of the existential threat to our nation posed by Kamala’s continuation of the disastrous and authoritarian policies Harris and Biden have imposed for the last four years,” Hughes told the New York Post.
In addition to Kennedy and Gabbard, Trump’s transition team includes former Trump administration leaders Linda McMahon and Howard Lutnick as co-chairs. Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, along with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, also serve as honorary chairs.
The coalition’s primary responsibilities include vetting future administration members, outlining a policy agenda, and organizing the White House transition, ensuring Trump would be ready to govern on day one should he win the election.
With Kennedy and Gabbard now part of the team, the coalition’s reach and influence are expected to expand even further.
