"As more and more female candidates exited the field, many voters who hoped to see a woman in the White House rallied around Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, only to see her suspend her campaign this Thursday. That leaves just one woman in the race—Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard—and a whole lot of questions about how she's made it this far.
Gabbard's campaign has always been something of a slow burn, with many voters seemingly unaware that she's actually still in the race; after all, she hasn't been present at recent Democratic debates, and she walked away from Super Tuesday with only two delegates. So what is it that keeps Gabbard's campaign going, when far better-funded candidates like Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg have dropped out?
It's unlikely that Gabbard will manage to overtake frontrunners Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, although she does share some political views with the latter; she backs Medicare for All, though not to the extent that Sanders does, and believes in free college and reducing defense spending."
