With no campaign manager and two gaffes already behind her, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii officially kicked off her campaign to become the Democratic Party’s next presidential nominee on Saturday.

During a small rally held against the tranquil backdrop of Hawaii’s famous Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, the four-term lawmaker reiterated her military and national security experience and the need for the next commander in chief to lead a shift in foreign policy away from “regime-change wars.”
