Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., voted against Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence Wednesday—after she cleared an initial procedural vote earlier this week despite some bipartisan skepticism about her foreign policy views.

Gabbard overcame skepticism within her own party about whether she was the right person for the director of national intelligence post.

Tulsi Gabbard, a former U.S. Representative with little intelligence experience, should be confirmed as the top U.S. spy by Wednesday morning, as Republicans line up behind a nominee once seen as among President Donald Trump's most controversial picks.
