The Senate voted Wednesday to confirm former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, a major win for President Donald Trump as Gabbard had been among the most controversial of his Cabinet picks.

Gabbard overcame skepticism from Republicans about whether she was the right person for the director of national intelligence post. Sen. Mitch McConnell broke with his party to side with Democrats in voting ‘no.

President Donald Trump continued his successful Cabinet confirmation roll on Wednesday, with Tulsi Gabbard officially being approved by the Senate to become his director of national intelligence (DNI).
