President Donald Trump’s allies, including Vice President JD Vance, are actively working to garner support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard following their confirmation hearings this week. Both nominees faced tough questioning from Democrats and some Republicans, marking a rare display of skepticism from GOP senators towards Trump’s picks.
Concerns are particularly high regarding Gabbard’s confirmation, especially after she declined to express her opinion on Edward Snowden's actions during her hearing. However, efforts are being made to address these concerns, with Gabbard engaging in private meetings with senators to clarify her stance on Snowden and surveillance practices in the US.
