Tulsa Gabbard's odds to be the next Trump Administration cabinet member to depart pay out $325 for every $100 bet at BetOnline
Gabbard announced Friday her final day will be June 30, citing her husband's battle with cancer
Tulsi Gabbard has been among the most sought after political bets at Gambling911.com over the past year.
BetOnline had released odds on Gabbard being the next to resign from the Trump Administration with the latest payout potential set at $325 for every $100 bet.
That day finally came on Friday.
Gabbard announced she will be resigning from her role as director of national intelligence, citing her husband’s health.
She becomes the fourth Cabinet official to depart during U.S. President Donald Trump’s second term.
In her resignation letter, which she posted on social media, Gabbard said she told Trump of her decision to leave office on June 30. She said her husband had recently been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and “faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months.”
“At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle,” she wrote in the letter, which was earlier reported by Fox News.
Trump, in his own social media post announcing her resignation, said “Tulsi has done an incredible job, and we will miss her.” He said her principal deputy, Aaron Lukas, will serve as acting director of national intelligence.
Gabbard, a veteran and former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, built her political name on her opposition to foreign wars. This put her in an awkward position when the U.S. joined Israel in launching attacks on Iran on Feb. 28.
BetOnline was expected to release updated odds on the next Trump cabinet member to depart.
