“It is essential that the rest of the president's cabinet candidates be confirmed as soon as possible,” she added.
The Senate confirmed Gabbard with a vote of 52-48. The disparity was along the party line, with the exception of former GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell (r-ky.), who opposed her.

“The nation should not need to worry that the intelligence report assessments received by the president are contaminated by the National Intelligence Director, who has a history of surprising lapses in judgment.”
Gabbard faced particular scrutiny over past meetings with former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, his previous FISA Section 702 stance and past support for NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
