Former Democratic Hawaii governor urges Tulsi Gabbard to resign from Congress
Expressing concerns that Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has been unable to juggle her responsibilities as a member of Congress and a contender for president, former Hawaii governor and long-serving House member Neil Abercrombie called this week for Gabbard to relinquish her congressional seat.
Her recent “present” vote on the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump buttressed his opinion, Abercrombie added. Abercrombie told Politico that his own political experience had shown him how challenging it can be to fulfill congressional responsibilities while running for office. Abercrombie resigned from his congressional seat in 2009, months after announcing his gubernatorial bid.
