Tulsi Gabbard drops threat to boycott the 4th Democratic debate [View all]

After briefly threatening to boycott tomorrow's Democratic debate, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) will be there after all.

The Hawaii Democrat announced in a three-sentence email Monday morning that "I will be attending the debate," which is set for Oct. 15. It's the first Democratic debate Gabbard has qualified for since July, having not been on the stage in September. She also confirmed her decision in a six word tweet.
