Cassidy was considered a swing vote on many of Trump’s nominees, as he once voted to impeach Trump, but has instead closed ranks. The post GOP Senator Roasted for ‘Remarkable’ Two-Line Statement Announcing Vote to Confirm Tulsi Gabbard first appeared on Mediaite.

The Senate advanced Gabbard's nomination in a party-line procedural vote Monday night, teeing up a vote on final passage.

Floor votes are expected this week on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in line to be the nation’s health secretary, and Tulsi Gabbard, the choice for director of national intelligence.

Trump's pick to direct national intelligence efforts will get a key Senate vote to tee up her confirmation later this week.

The Senate returns late this afternoon, when Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination for director of national intelligence comes up for a procedural vote. One of Trump’s most controversial nominees, she managed last week to advance out of committee on a party-line vote.
