All 47 Democrats voted against Gabbard’s nomination, while all Republicans, except McConnell, supported her. The confirmation demonstrates the GOP’s support for Trump’s attempts to reform the intelligence community, which often disagreed with him during his first term in office.

U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, cast the only Republican vote against the new Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

The Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard, a veteran and former Democratic congresswoman, as director of national intelligence in a 52-48 vote.
