Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as Director of National Intelligence advanced after a 52-46 Senate vote. Despite opposition due to her controversial past comments and actions, significant Republican support increased her chances of confirmation. Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman and National Guard lieutenant colonel, faces scrutiny over her past praise for Edward Snowden and a 2017 meeting with Syria’s Bashar Assad. A final Senate vote is expected soon, with most GOP senators needing to back her for confirmation amidst ongoing debates about national security.
