Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation as a member of the Intelligence Committee faces challenges, especially with Republican senators skeptical of her past remarks about surveillance and Edward Snowden. Despite the mixed reactions from GOP senators, particularly Todd Young, Trump's team is considering leveraging a potential pardon for Snowden to secure Gabbard's confirmation. Gabbard, who positions herself similarly to Trump regarding the intelligence community, appears to have garnered some support from Senate swing-voter Susan Collins. Trump's interest in Gabbard reflects his ongoing conflict with the intelligence establishment.
"We feel OK about Tulsi's chances," one senior White House official told Axios. "But we want to feel better."
