Initially facing significant skepticism from Republican senators regarding her qualifications, Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to become director of National Intelligence has gained traction. With critical support from Senators Susan Collins and Todd Young, the Senate Intelligence Committee voted narrowly in favor of her nomination. Gabbard's history, including her past stances on government surveillance and a controversial visit to Syria, raised concerns among her opponents. Nonetheless, her nomination will move to the full Senate, where she only needs three Republican votes to secure confirmation, indicating strong prospects for success despite earlier doubts.
For weeks, Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to serve as the director of National Intelligence appeared in danger, but Republican senators eventually fell in line for her support.
Gabbard's nomination now heads to the full Senate for a vote, where she can only afford to lose three Republicans, signaling a likely success.
Despite previous contentions regarding her stances, Gabbard managed to secure key Republican support, enabling her advancement in the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Gabbard faced tough questioning during her hearing but maintained her stance on whistleblower Edward Snowden, refusing to label him a traitor.
