As Punchbowl News It has been reported:
Tonight, the Senate votes to evoke the Cloudture on Gabbard's nomination. Once considered the most at-risk candidate, Gabbard acquired Sen. Susan Collins (R Maine) and Todd Young (R-ind.) to advance the Senate Intelligence Election Committee last week. .
GOPSens. John Curtis (Utah) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.) are two swing votes to watch, but Gabbard is unlikely to be defeated on the floor.
If coagulation is called, if you need 30 hours of crossture time, set up Gabbard checks late on Tuesday night or early on Wednesday morning. We don't expect Democrats to give back any of that time.
In particular, Kennedy passed the committee with a 14-13 vote after signing Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) last week.
