Tulsi Gabbard confirmation vote set for Wednesday after snowstorm thwarts midnight session
www.foxnews.com
President Donald Trump is on the cusp of seeing his 14th Cabinet member confirmed in former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard is slated for a final Senate confirmation vote to be Trump's director of national intelligence (DNI) on Wednesday morning, after the planned midnight vote was scrapped due to a snowstorm in Washington, D.C.
The 30 hours of post-cloture debate officially expires on her nomination just after midnight.
Frequently, the debate between the cloture motion and the final vote is minimized in what's referred to as a "time agreement" between Republicans and Democrats. But with the controversial nature of Gabbard's nomination and ongoing frustrations with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its government audit, no such agreement is expected.
