As we said earlier, the Republican Senators continue to fall in line behind Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination for Director of National Intelligence.
A few minutes ago Senator Todd Young, who voted in support for RFK Jr. on the Finance Committee, just announced he will be supporting Gabbard for DNI:
I appreciate Tulsi Gabbard’s engagement with me on a variety of issues to ensure that our intelligence professionals will be supported and policymakers will receive unbiased information under her leadership. pic.twitter.com/PmYvaP0afQ

Having now secured these commitments, I will support Tulsi’s nomination and look forward to working with her to protect our national security.

It’s starting to look like Tulsi will be confirmed. I don’t have an exact count yet, but Young was seen as the person who could kill the nomination as of yesterday. With him behind her, the wind may be at her back now.
