Trump's announcement of Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, a role overseeing all U.S. intelligence agencies, signals a likely contentious Senate confirmation fight.
Gabbard's record includes past opposition to LGBTQ+ rights, notably her 2014 testimony against civil union legislation, emphasizing her belief in representing broader views over those of 'homosexual extremists'.
While Trump praised Gabbard's abilities and claimed her broad support, skepticism remains regarding her acceptance by Democratic senators due to her controversial stance on LGBTQ+ issues.
Gabbard, with a background in the U.S. House and the Army National Guard, holds a mixed legacy as a former Democratic congresswoman, now selected for a pivotal intelligence role.
