Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) announced on Tuesday that he will support Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination to become director of national intelligence, paving the way for her to reach a floor vote and increasing her chances of winning full confirmation.
Young had been considered a crucial Intelligence Committee GOP swing vote on Gabbard’s nomination.
“I appreciate Tulsi Gabbard’s engagement with me on a variety of issues to ensure that our intelligence professionals will be supported and policymakers will receive unbiased information under her leadership,” Young posted on X with a letter Gabbard sent him of commitments in order to win his vote.
“I have done what the Framers envisioned for senators to do: use the consultative process to seek firm commitments, in this case commitments that will advance our national security, which is my top priority as a former Marine Corps intelligence officer,” he continued. “Having now secured these commitments, I will support Tulsi’s nomination and look forward to working with her to protect our national security,” Young added.

Drama queen.
He still needs to be primaried. We don’t need any more Richard Lugar wannabees.
We have to work on getting all closed Republican primaries. Indiana has open primaries.
Over that hurdle, now to endure 30 hours of democrat floor debate before the vote. Hopefully Mitch can’t round up enough Rino NOs to give the democrats the victory.
The RINOs need to get with the program.
