Senate Confirms Tulsi Gabbard As Trumps Director Of National Intelligence Despite Partisan Divide

The 52-48 vote reflected Trumps continued influence over the GOP, with only Sen. Mitch McConnell voting against her. Gabbard, a former congresswoman and Iraq war veteran, faced scrutiny over her controversial past stances, including her support for Edward Snowden.
