Former Senator Tom Cotton played a crucial role in securing support for Tulsi Gabbard's Senate confirmation. His strategic approach involved persuading undecided Senators Todd Young and Susan Collins, alongside other key figures like Vice President Vance and Trump adviser Jason Miller. Despite a contentious hearing and frustrations from Republican senators, Gabbard received a party-line recommendation from the Senate Intel Committee. Cotton's leadership transformed the Republican Conference into an advocacy group for Gabbard, focusing on collaboration and effective communication with the White House throughout the process.
Cotton leaned hard on the White House to persuade, not pressure, arguing that an overly combative approach could be counterproductive for people like Young.
As chair of the Senate Republican Conference, Cotton transformed the office - and its X account - into a war room for Gabbard.
