Democractic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard defeated a man in an impromptu push-up challenge in front of town hall attendees in New Hampshire on Thursday (16 January), reports Indian Express.
During the debate, a man in the crowd asked the Hawaii congresswoman and Iraq War veteran about former Vice President Joe Biden.
"Former Vice President Biden has randomly challenged people in the audience to a push-up contest even if they're in walkers. Do you think you could take him?" a male attendee asked the candidate, according to video of the moment posted on Twitter.
Gabbard replied, "My educated and informed guess would be yes ... But I would take most people to a push-up challenge."
After accepting the challenge, Gabbard, in blazer and heels, started doing push-ups with an attendee amidst cheers by the crowd and emerged victorious.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
