On October 19, 2018, Politico said that Gabbard was "weighing a 2020 presidential bid" but would not make an announcement until after the 2018 midterm elections.[2] On December 12, 2018, on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Gabbard said she was "seriously considering" running for president in 2020.[3]

In a January 11, 2019 interview with CNN's Van Jones, Gabbard announced her plans to run for the Democratic presidential nomination and said she would officially announce "within the next week."[4]

After failing to qualify in recent debates or winning any primary contests, Gabbard left the race on March 19, 2020, and supported Joe Biden.[5][6][7]
