The Senate confirmed Director of National Intelligence (DNI) nominee Tulsi Gabbard along party lines early Wednesday morning.
She was confirmed in a vote of 52 to 48, with all Democrats opposing her nomination. Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell joined Democrats and voted against confirming Gabbard.
Some Republican senators once considered key swing-votes ended up supporting Gabbard, including Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Utah Sen. John Curtis.
