Tulsi Gabbard is one step closer to becoming President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence, turning what was expected to be one of the president’s most contentious nominations into an easy Republican win.
Senators voted along party lines Monday to invoke cloture on Gabbard’s nomination, setting up a final vote as early as Wednesday.
Much of the initial shakiness on Gabbard’s nomination was squashed by those in Trumpworld, including Vice President JD Vance, who reached out to senators on Gabbard’s behalf.
