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]

Gabbard speaking to the California Democratic Party State Convention in June 2019.

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 they 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 attorney general of California, accusing her of holding innocent people on death row and pointing out Harris's prosecution of marijuana crimes after admitting her own use.[20][21]

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.[22] Such polls could be national or early primary state polls, published by any of the 16 DNC-certified organizations.[23] On August 2nd, the Gabbard campaign announced that it had met the donor threshold to qualify, but had not yet reached the polling threshold.[24]

Tulsi Gabbard poll results during qualification period for September 2019 debates of the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries

On August 23, the Gabbard campaign noted that, in contrast to six polls released in the two weeks following the first debate, only two were released in the two weeks following Gabbard’s strong performance in the second debate. Gabbard criticized the DNC for not explaining why certain polls were qualifying while other "very credible, recognized" polls were not and argued that the process of developing criteria for poll selection "should not be made in secret by party bosses”; that there were oddities regarding where polls were not taking place; and that the lack of “transparency" was creating a "lack of trust in the process".[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]

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 in 24 other polls, including several from respected polling firms, that were not considered in the DNC's list.[35][36][37][38]

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. Tracey called upon the DNC to honor its declaration in its December 20, 2018 debate 'framework' where it had declared “Given the fluid nature of the presidential nominating process, the DNC will continuously assess the state of the race and make adjustments to this process as appropriate.”[39][40] 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.[41]

FiveThirtyEight's Geoffrey Skelley analyzed which candidates would meet the September debate's qualification criterion of 4 polls above the 2% threshold if slight changes to the DNC's current rule set were applied, he concluded that "there’s an argument to be made that the DNC’s list of eligible pollsters helped make or break qualification for those candidates on the bubble — Gabbard and Steyer in particular."[42]

Directors of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion voiced arguments against using public opinion polls "to determine presidential primary debate eligibility” as the margin of error in these polls is “wide” and "way beyond" the precision they are being used for —"2% you are in, 1% your are out”; that relying on national polls rather than state polls "gives an advantage" to candidates with strong name recognition; and that polls in early primary states give a "better sense" of a candidate's political support early in the race than national polls.[43]

By September 24th Gabbard qualified for the October debate by receiving the 4th qualifying poll result at or above 2%[44] after having received 40 poll results at or above 2% overall.

Fundraising

In mid-2017 Gabbard pledged to no longer accept money from political action committees.[45] 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.[46][47]

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.[48] 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.[49]

In the second quarter of 2019, the campaign raised $1,567,204 which brings the total to $6,062,974[48] with 69.0% coming from "small dollar" donors giving $200 or less.[50]

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."[51]

Media coverage

Gabbard has received very little news coverage relative to her polling position.[52] In addition, much of the coverage she has received campaign has been very negative. In February 2019, shortly after Gabbard's campaign launch, The Intercept's Glenn Greenwald criticized NBC News for attacking Gabbard via discredited sources who previously got caught interfering in the 2017 Alabama Senate election using fabricated data in a false flag information attack.[53] In May 2019, after Gabbard's interview with Joe Rogan[54], Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi stated, "we have hit a new low in campaign hit pieces" after Gabbard's campaign was attacked by The Daily Beast, CNN and Politico.[55] Following the second presidential debate during which Gabbard exposed her competitor Kamala Harris' record as a prosecutor[56], Sky News' James Morrow stated, the media has "Russia paranoia".[57]

In September 2019, Vanity Fair summarized the media coverage of Gabbard's presidential campaign as "the press hates Gabbard even more than it hates Sanders".[58] Vamsee Juluri, Professor for Media Studies at USF criticized National Public Radio (NPR) for participating in a "bigoted hinduphobic smear campaign" against Gabbard.[59] Gabbard called NPR's interview "very religious bigoted and offensive" for repeating "misinformation, smears and bigoted attacks" from other media.[60] The Hill's Krystal Ball said NPR smeared Gabbard for her religion, her upbringing and her father's views. Ball described the interview as "the most egregious thing I have ever seen" and "much of it based on conspiracy theories". Ball added, this type of interview is the "typical treatment" Gabbard gets in the media because she is "so challenging to the mindset and the bipartisan consensus in Washington". Referring to the overall campaign coverage, Ball said, "people spun up" the accusation, Gabbard were a "Russian plant" and other "crazy nonsense". The Hill's Saagar Enjeti found NPR's interview "disgusting". Both Ball and Enjeti describe Gabbard as "the most unfairly maligned person in Washington".[61]

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.[62]

Polling

Tulsi Gabbard poll results during qualification period for November 2019 debate of the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries

Gabbard has polled in single digits in national polls. Gabbard has polled at 1% in several major polls.[63][64][65] 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%.[66] On August 23, 2019, Gabbard's campaign stated that she had received 2% or more in 26 national and statewide polls, but only two of the polls were certified by the DNC.[67]

On August 19, 2019, Gabbard garnered 4.8% of the Iowa State Fair Straw Poll, placing 7th in a field of 24.[68][69][70]

Gabbard received 4% in the early primate states subset of two non-qualifying Morning Consult national polls from August 25 [71] and September 1.[72][73] On September 4 she received 1% in the same states in qualifying polls sponsored by CBS News.

Tulsi Gabbard poll results in New Hampshire

Between the debates of July 31 and September 12, Gabbard's polling results in the early primary state New Hampshire were 1% in one qualifying poll and an average of 4.6% in five non-qualifying polls. Gabbard, who did not qualify for the September debate, received 5% in an August 6 poll from Gravis Marketing[74] and 6% in polls from Emerson College on September 9 [75][76] and HarrisX on September 11, thereby reaching the 4th place in the "Granite state",[77] what PBS NewsHour's Lisa Desjardins called "very significant".[78] Prof. Spencer Kimball, Director of Emerson College Polling, said he is "not surprised" about Gabbard's rise to 6% in the poll because his polling institute has been watching Gabbard "slowly building her support for awhile". Kimball added, Gabbard's military service "likely resonates with a strong military tradition" among New Hampshire voters.[75] Gabbard has been campaigning in New Hampshire during August and September, including a speech at "Politics & Eggs", a forum hosted by the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.[79][80]
