Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) announced 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 the social platform X alongside 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.
The decision came only a couple of hours before the Senate Intelligence Committee is set to meet to consider her nomination.

This means Tulsi is almost certainly SAFE based on the hearing she might even get one or two Dems but might be too much to ask
The vote is likely behind closed doors...
Good News.
He got the Musk Email.
My phone call worked! lol
Yes, I think Tulsi is in. Susan “Tom” Collins, John Cornhole Cornyn, and now Young are on board. We’ll lose MurCowSki and Yertle.
And he will survive… politically.
Hogwash. The double dealing RINO that heard from his constituents and other base voters calling for his scalp.
So much winning in so little time. It is glorious to be living during the rebirth of America.
His vote still doesn’t stop his ouster. He’s still a rino that must go.
FAFO Young.
He got a note from Donnie advising him that Pam can make his life miserable.
