It really costs her nothing at this point to stay in. She's not really campaigning.

The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) is his right wing political party, and they trace their roots back to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a movement that began during the colonial period and was informed by fascism and heavily drew on the writings of Savitri Devi, who believed Hitler was an avatar of Vishnu.

Gabbard is a big fan of Modi.

There’s a great episode of the Behind the Bastards podcast about Savitri Devi that will make your skin crawl.
