"The former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii has shifted her political allegiance in recent years, going from a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 to a stalwart Trump supporter and conservative media personality.
If confirmed for the role, Gabbard would oversee all 18 of the nation's intelligence agencies.
In a statement Wednesday, Trump highlighted Gabbard's background as a former Democrat, saying, "she has broad support" from both political parties. Her political turn means she's not likely to gain support from Democrats.
"I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights, and securing Peace through Strength," he said." "Tulsi will make us all proud!"
Gabbard was the first Hindu elected to the House of Representatives in 2012. She's also a combat veteran and a former Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve.
As Director of National Intelligence, Gabbard would play a leading role in helping shape Trump's international playbook. She comes to the job having already been critical of President Biden's response to the ongoing conflicts around the world."
Tulsidabomb!
