Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii made her first endorsement since announcing on Tuesday she is no longer a member of the Democratic Party. The honor goes to Joe Kent, who rode an endorsement from former President Donald Trump to a win over incumbent Rep. Jamie Herrera Butler in the Republican primary for Washington’s third congressional district.

Kent, a U.S. Army veteran and first-time candidate for office, tweeted a video of Gabbard’s endorsement on Wednesday.
