Tulsi Gabbard's welcome home from active duty: No debate spot

Tulsi Gabbard’s presidential campaign is teasing her return to the trail this week, even though it’s unlikely the Hawaiian congresswoman will make September’s debate stage.

“Tulsi will be touching down tomorrow and ready to hit the campaign trail after two weeks of active duty training with her National Guard unit,” her campaign emailed supporters Tuesday. “We’re a 100% people-powered and PAC-free movement, and Tulsi has been relying on us to keep the campaign going strong in her absence. We have an uphill battle to fight against establishment bias, but with your help, we can continue to demonstrate our undeniable grassroots momentum.”
