Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) says she has bigger things to worry about than fighting with Hillary Clinton.
In January, Gabbard, a former 2020 presidential candidate, sued the former secretary of state for implying Gabbard was a "favorite of the Russians" being groomed for a third-party presidential run. But Gabbard dropped that defamation suit on Wednesday, saying it's not feasible to keep up the fight when COVID-19 and "defeating [President] Donald Trump in 2020" are also on her plate.
