Trump just put himself in a 'curious situation' with his own base: political analyst
Donald Trump's recent move put him in hot water with the most hardcore members of his own base, a political analyst said on Saturday.
Trump's decision to nominate Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat, is expected to outrage some of the former and incoming president's MAGA constituents, according to Alexi McCammond, who serves as an opinion editor for the Washington Post.
Appearing on MSNBC over the weekend, McCammond was asked about Trump's latest high-profile nominations.

"Tulsi Gabbard, along with some other picks, is putting Donald Trump in a curious situation, because we know the most hardcore of the MAGA base don't necessarily view women in positions of power in a fond light," she said. "They don't necessarily view people of color, even, in a fond light."
The analyst then added, "We've seen some of the ways they talked negatively about Vivek Ramaswamy during the Republican presidential primary. So I would expect to see some of that coming from the most hard-core of the MAGA base in the future with Tulsi Gabbard."
