Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as director of national intelligence could be at risk due to her controversial past, including a visit to Syria and support for Edward Snowden. Her resolution urging the government to drop charges against Snowden has raised red flags among Senate Republicans, with growing scrutiny from committee members. Despite no GOP senators opposing her nomination outright, her support remains uncertain, and her team acknowledges complications if she fails to gain committee endorsement, though her nomination could still be brought to the floor under specific conditions.
There's definitely a risk that she won't even survive the committee process, one Republican senator told Axios, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
It's something that came up in my own review of [Gabbard's] record, said Sen. Susan Collins, expressing concern over Gabbard's past legislation.
