Senator Susan Collins has just announced that she will be supporting Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination to become the Director of National Security.
She just released this statement:
The numbers are definitely swinging in Gabbard’s direction. CNN’s Manu Raju believes it all may come down to Sen. Todd Young, who was said to be against her nomination over the weekend:
GOP Sen. James Lankford tells us he’s a YES on Tulsi Gabbard and spoke to her over the weekend. With Susan Collins backing her now too, it could come down to Sen. Todd Young on whether she has the votes to be approved by Senate Intel tomorrow
