The nomination of TULSI Gabbard as the director of the national information may be dangerous following a burning testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday.
Gabbard held a disciplined master class during the confirmation hearing, but it may not be enough to secure the required votes in the Senate. Assuming that all the Democrats will vote for President Donald Trump's candidates, Gabard has no room for the Senate Republican Party to cast voting destroyed by JD Vans.
One of the most likely exiles that politicians are monitoring, Senator Susan Collins, a member of the Main State Republican Senator Susan Collins, who voted for the Pentagon that he would nominate Pete Hegousth. 。
The spectators looked at the very expected interactions of Collins and Gabard during the hearing. Despite her historical exile, Gabard seemed to have soothed Collins.
“People have cards very close to the best, but their nomination is in trouble.”
Gabbard may have cleared one hurdle, but others were born in her hearing. Several Senator, including the Senator James Rankford, the Republican Republican Republican Republican Republican member of Oklahoma, has imposed the past support of NSA Riker Edward Snowden. Rankford and other members of the Diet urged Gabard to call Snowden as a traitor, but Gabard refused. Nevertheless, she acknowledged that Snowden was a criminal and outlined a four -stage plan to prevent future “Snowden -like” leaks.
Gabbard played as much as she had, taking into account everything. The problem is whether it was enough to pull yourself over the finish line.
It used to be Rankford commit He was “surprised,” as a “yes” voting against Gabard, “I was surprised,” the candidate's reaction to her concerns about Snowden's attitude.
“I was surprised because it wasn't a difficult question about it,” said Rankford. I said Thursday. “I didn't intend to ask a trick question.”
The Republican Republican Senator Todd Young seems to be in a fence about Gabard. Young asked about the past introduction of the law called to forgive Snowden, and imposed a candidate with similar questions.
“He probably put his American life at risk through his actions,” he said. I said Thursday. “How do you think you will receive some of these past behaviors as a leader in the Intelligence Community to support and forgive Snoden?”
Some members have stated that they will hesitate, but Senator John Cominin, Republic of Republican Republican Republican, has made a statement that can only be explained as the support of Gabard.
“Article 2, section 2, and 2 stipulate that the president will appoint the Senate's advice and consent.” I said。 “I think that Trump has gained the right to appoint his cabinet if there is no extraordinary situation because he has definitely won the election, so he will agree to the appointment of Tarushi Gabard's Director of the National Information Bureau. “
Gabbard's nomination was not the first encounter with pushback. Despite the overwhelming public enthusiasm for HEGSETH, he was barely confirmed thanks to Vance's voting. At present, it is unknown whether Gabbard has enough votes to clear all hurdles.
“People have cards very close to the best,” said the Senator of the Junior Party. I said hill. “But the nomination is in trouble.”
At the same time, just because some of the Senator is hesitant does not mean that they are difficult and difficult. If you take it home from an earlier confirmation battle like HegSeth's, it will work on the pressure campaign.
