Some Republican senators once considered key swing-votes ended up supporting Gabbard, including Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Utah Sen. John Curtis. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY CALLER

Tulsi Gabbard grilled on Snowden, warrantless wiretaps, Assad meeting in fraught DNI confirmation hearing

By Audrey Fahlberg | National Review U.S. senators’ private concerns with Tulsi Gabbard’s history of unconventional national security views burst into public view on Thursday when the director of intelligence nominee — a former Hawaii congresswoman, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, and lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve — sat before the Senate Intelligence Committee for a tense confirmation hearing that did little to dispel the narrative that her path to confirmation remains narrow. Senate Republicans have a 53-seat majority this Congress and Vice President JD Vance can break a tie in a confirmation vote on the floor. But she must first clear the Senate Intelligence Committee, where Republicans have a one-seat majority and a single defection could cost her a favorable...

Tulsi Gabbard, who prepped Trump for debate, ‘dissected’ Harris in 2019 Dem primary debate

By Hanna Panreck | Fox News Tulsi Gabbard revealed on Monday how she went about calling out Vice President Kamala Harris on the debate stage during the Democratic primaries in 2019 during an appearance on "Jesse Watters Primetime."  "She was treated with kid gloves by the mainstream propaganda media. She was treated with kid gloves, even by every other candidate that was on that debate stage. No one questioned her, challenged her, or called her out for the record as prosecutor that she claimed to be proud of," Gabbard said.  The former congresswoman called out Harris in a 2019 primary debate where she hammered the then-Democratic senator for jailing hundreds of Californians for marijuana violations while she was attorney general, yet bragged about her own use of the drug...
