Will her meeting with Assad help her campaign or not?

Tulsi Gabbard, Bashar Assad’s Favorite Democrat, Is Running for President
"Tulsi Gabbard, the Hawaii congresswoman who backed Bernie Sanders in 2016, and met with president-elect Donald Trump and then with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2017, is officially running for president herself."
I would say it was helping to demonstrate that she is taken seriously, unlike some faux Amerindians.
I think some of her stated foreign policy views are more consistent with a majority of Americans than those held by our current POTUS:
"Gabbard strongly opposed a $1.15-billion arms deal with
Saudi Arabia, saying, 'Saudi Arabia continues to spend billions of dollars funding the spread of the Wahhabi Salafist ideology that fuels groups like ISIS, al Qaeda and other jihadist groups around the world.
"The U.S. must stop arming Saudi Arabia, stop fueling this fire and hold Saudi Arabia accountable for their actions.'
[133][134]
"In response to President
Trump's
position on the Saudi government's
assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, Gabbard tweeted that 'being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not '
America First.'"

"She followed up with a statement saying, '
Aloha means love—including love for others, our country and our values. Sometimes aloha manifests as righteous anger—like the anger we feel when our president portrays our country as Saudi Arabia’s
slave. Donald Trump weakly submits that our country must do Saudi Arabia's bidding or, absurdly, our economy and national security interests will be damaged. He ridiculously calls his policy of submissiveness to Saudi Arabia 'America first'—when it's obviously 'Saudi Arabia first.'"
