The Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, with a final vote of 52 to 48. All Senate Democrats opposed her, while nearly all Republicans supported her, except for Mitch McConnell. Gabbard's nomination has ignited controversy due to her past criticisms of U.S. foreign policy and "regime change" wars, potentially signaling a move toward realism under the second Trump administration. A veteran of the Global War on Terror, Gabbard is known for her advocacy of restraint in foreign interventions and previously resigned from the Democratic Party over various issues.
Gabbard's nomination stirred controversy because of her sharp criticism of the U.S. foreign policy establishment and "regime change" wars.
Our actions to overthrow secular dictators in Iraq and Libya...have resulted in tremendous loss of life, failed nations, and even worse humanitarian crises.
