Curiosity about Tulsi Gabbard spiked during last night’s debate. And it was already simmering leading up to it.

At the first Democratic primary debate, it was clear the main goal for several candidates was to merely get their name on the national radar.

The crowded stage of 10 made it especially difficult. But a few candidates found a way to stand out.

During the debate, several tweets noted the massive spike in Sen. Cory Booker’s search traffic. But by the end of the night, two other candidates emerged from the crowded field — enough to get Americans searching their name.

One was New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. This isn’t a huge surprise; de Blasio tried to run to the left of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who was clearly the frontrunner onstage. And he did so by trying to upend the debate format and interrupting fellow candidates.

The other, though, was more of a surprise. Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who served in the Iraq War, sparred with Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan over foreign policy — and eventually won the upper hand when she corrected Ryan for saying the Taliban, not al-Qaeda, was behind the 9/11 attacks.

These are the moments that caused search traffic for these candidates to skyrocket.
