The Senate Intelligence Committee has given the green light to Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination to lead the nation’s intelligence efforts. The move sets up a decisive vote in the full Senate, where Republicans and Democrats are sharply divided over President Trump’s pick.

The committee’s vote on Tuesday was a close one, with all Republicans backing Gabbard and every Democrat opposing her. This split highlights the polarizing nature of her nomination, which has sparked intense debate in Washington.

Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, has managed to win over key Republicans despite her unconventional views. Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who initially had reservations, announced her support earlier this week. She praised Gabbard’s plan to streamline the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and refocus it on its core mission.

Even tech billionaire Elon Musk weighed in, initially criticizing a Republican senator before retracting his comments and expressing confidence in Gabbard’s ability to “restore power to the people.”

Gabbard’s nomination has been one of the most controversial of Trump’s picks, given her history as a Democrat and her unorthodox policy stances. Now, all eyes are on the full Senate, where her fate will soon be decided.
