Republican Senator Todd Young has committed to voting “Yes” on Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination for Director of National Intelligence, ensuring her confirmation. After a private meeting with Gabbard, Young’s support was secured, with moderate Senator Susan Collins also backing Gabbard. Additionally, Senator Bill Cassidy is expected to vote “Yes” on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services, influenced by conservative lobbying, particularly from Vice President JD Vance. These developments, alongside high confirmation odds for other Trump nominees, signal a strong shift in support for unconventional appointments. Senate Democrats struggle to block these nominations, highlighting Trump’s influence in Washington as his administration regains momentum.
