After Gabbard faced a public questioning, two of three senators still on the fence now say they are a 'yes' vote.

The Senate Intelligence Committee voted Tuesday to advance Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as director of national intelligence, with Republicans backing her unanimously despite some having expressed unease with her foreign policy views.

Collins, a pivotal swing vote on the Senate Intelligence Committee, is expected to play a key role in advancing Gabbard’s nomination as the committee meets on Tuesday.
