The Senate Intelligence Committee has voted 9-8 to advance Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for director of national intelligence. The vote, according to a source familiar with the matter, was along party lines. This decision sets the stage for a full vote in the Senate.
It is worth noting that Gabbard's confirmation faced a crucial moment as she could not afford to lose a single GOP vote on the committee. Concerns were raised by individuals close to former President Trump and those involved in confirming his nominees.
