Senate Votes on Tulsi Gabbard for National Intelligence Role: Live Coverage

The US Senate is currently deliberating on the nomination of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for the crucial role of Director of National Intelligence. This decision comes after both Gabbard and another controversial appointee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., received the backing of Republican senators in their respective confirmation committees.

Despite initial concerns about Kennedy’s stance on vaccines and Gabbard’s refusal to condemn Edward Snowden as a traitor, the two nominees have managed to garner enough support to advance to the full Senate chamber for a final vote. With a Republican majority in the Senate, it is likely that both Gabbard and Kennedy will secure the necessary votes for confirmation.

Gabbard, a former Democrat who switched sides to support President Trump, has raised eyebrows for her unconventional views on national security issues. However, her nomination for the Director of National Intelligence position demonstrates the administration’s willingness to bring in individuals with diverse perspectives.

As the Senate vote unfolds, all eyes are on Gabbard and Kennedy as they await the final verdict on their appointments. Stay tuned for updates on this critical development in the Trump administration’s cabinet selection process.
