------------------------------------------------------------------

In election news, Hawaii Congressmember Tulsi Gabbard dropped out of the
presidential race Thursday and immediately endorsed former Vice
President Joe Biden in a video posted on Twitter. In 2016, she endorsed
Senator Bernie Sanders for president. Gabbard is an Iraq War veteran and
current National Guard member who ran on a foreign policy-focused
campaign and advocated to end "forever wars." The 38-year-old is the
first Hindu elected to Congress.
