"To essentially deprive half the state of Hawaii of representation in that sense is unacceptable,..."
Puna lacks proper representation, so I'm not sure what Abercrombie's point is here.

Tulsi resigns from her seat in Congress.
You run in the special election as our representative for rural Hawaii, and especially Puna District.
Home turf favoritism.
Proper representation.

Tulsi lost her home territory to Micheal Bloomberg in the Super Tuesday primary:
Mike Bloomberg won his first contest, carrying the American Samoa Democratic caucuses and winning at least four delegates on Super Tuesday, NBC News projects.
Bloomberg won 49.9 percent vote, or 175 votes. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, who was born in American Samoa, received 29.3 percent, or 103 votes, and earned one delegate

The DNC has once again changed the rules for qualification for the next debate, ensuring that Tulsi won't be on the stage. Her two delegates from American Samoa are irrelevant.

MAURA QUINT’S PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE RECAPS
THE ONE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FEVER DREAM
by MAURA QUINT
8:01 PM: This debate opens with just two candidates: Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden. The third candidate still running, 38-year-old Hawaiian Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, is not present, presumably social-distancing herself to protect the two elderly and more-vulnerable candidates.
