Well this is some big news and comes when Bernie Sanders could certainly use a boost. Tulsi Gabbard, Vice Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has resigned and endorsed Bernie Sanders for President.

Gabbard has been vocal in her criticism of the DNC before when she asked for more democratic debates and was then disinvited from the next debate. Gabbard told the New York Times:
