Former Hawaii congresswoman and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate—and now, former Democrat—Tulsi Gabbard will be stumping alongside floundering GOP Senate nominee Don Bolduc.

“Most independents up here don’t know who Tulsi Gabbard is,” Dante Scala, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire, told The Daily Beast. “I think it’s more about trying to stoke base voter enthusiasm as opposed to winning over independents.”

Senate Republicans’ main campaign arm pulled its ads from the Granite State race last week, and Democratic candidate Sen. Maggie Hassan’s lead has grown to an average of 7.8 points, according to FiveThirtyEight’s rolling average.

The Bolduc campaign would not say when Gabbard will begin appearing with the retired brigadier general and on-and-off-again election denier, but they touted the Fox News mainstay’s support on Wednesday. (The campaign also declined to detail what the candidate’s current position is on the validity of the 2020 election results.)

One GOP operative bemoaned that Bolduc has been changing his answers on the 2020 election depending on the room he’s in, sometimes “forgetting reporters are there.”

Said Bolduc:

“We don’t agree on every issue, but I am honored to have the support of Tulsi Gabbard who shares my view that the status quo is broken, and we need a change of direction,” Bodluc said in a press release. “Tulsi is a fellow change agent and independent-minded outsider willing to speak truth to power.”

Gabbard’s reappearance on the New Hampshire stage has excited some of her early backers in the Granite State, but it wasn’t clear whether Bolduc would ultimately reap any benefit.
