All I can find is that her parents and grandmother were Republicans. Her Palestinian father coming to America after the 1948 Israel-Palestine war. Lot of refugees gravitate to whichever party was in power when they immigrated here.

Can't find anything about her being a Republican prior to this, just a reporter.

I did see the town hall she did with other candidates holding yes/nope signs and she confidently signalled all the right answers that wild align with Progressives/DSA.

That is a bummer though if she's resisted DSA assocation.

But yeah I get being cautious about "new progressives" that are turncoats like Gabbard and Fetterman. Shit is pure evil.
