Democratic presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard is putting in the hard groundwork in New Hampshire. She has moved to the state ahead of the primary election and was previously spotted spreading some Christmas joy with some caroling throughout the local community.
Most recently, Gabbard held a Town Hall event in Manchester, New Hampshire and what resulted was a memorable campaign moment.
Gabbard, who is a combat veteran who served in Iraq and a member of the Hawaii Army National Guard, was challenged to a push-up contest by a constituent who has been keeping a clear eye on her workout routine which she often posts online. Predictably, it was Gababrd who came out on top during the entertaining moment.
Check out the Democratic presidential hopeful in action.
That is one way to win a vote.
