Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) has become the “most disliked” Democratic presidential candidate ahead of the 2020 election, after she broke with House Democrats last week on articles of impeachment accusing President Donald Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress and instead voted “present.”

A week prior to the impeachment vote, Gabbard’s unfavorability rating stood at 23 percent, according to a Morning Consult survey. However, just days after her “present” vote, that figure climbed to 30 percent, making her the field’s “most disliked candidate,” Newsweek reported.
