Gabbard's nomination hangs in the balance, as she cannot afford to lose a single Republican vote on the committee. If she fails to secure enough support, her nomination could face significant challenges. Key Republican members of the committee, such as Senators Susan Collins, Todd Young, and James Lankford, have not yet indicated how they will vote on advancing Gabbard's nomination to the Senate floor.
The vote is scheduled to occur at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, with the outcome likely to have far-reaching implications for Gabbard's potential appointment as the director of national intelligence.
