Tulsi Gabbard Confirmed as DNI

In a nearly party line vote, Tulsi Gabbard was confirmed as President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence. The vote, which was originally scheduled for last night, was 52-48. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was the lone Republican to vote no on her confirmation.

Gabbard, who is a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserves, was a congressman from Hawaii from 2013 to 2021 when she ran for president.

According to Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, Robert Kennedy Jr is up next, with a vote scheduled for Thursday. Kash Patel’s final vote is expected some time next week.
