President Donald Trump’s direct of national intelligence designee, Tulsi Gabbard, cleared the Senate Intelligence Committee in a party line vote on Tuesday afternoon, advancing her nomination to the full Senate where she will soon undergo an official confirmation floor vote.

The Senate Intelligence panel’s favorable recommendation of Gabbard — a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, former Hawaii congresswoman, and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate — comes after a weeks long campaign by her team to convince skeptical Republican senators to get on board with her nomination, along with an intense social media campaign from Trump allies threatening primary challenges for any GOP senator thinking of opposing her nomination. Every Republican on the committee voted “yes.”

It’s possible Gabbard will still receive some Republican opposition in her confirmation floor vote, though the panel’s favorable recommendation majority means her confirmation chances now look more likely than not. Should all Senate Democrats oppose her, Gabbard can only afford three Republican defections, and Vice President JD Vance can break a tie.

In the days leading up to Tuesday afternoon’s closed-door panel vote, worries surrounding Gabbard’s fate centered around on-the-fence Intelligence Committee members Susan Collins (R., Maine), a co-author of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 that created the office of the director of national intelligence (ODNI), and Todd Young (R., Ind.), a former Marine Corps Intelligence officer. In a Monday statement, Collins said that the former congresswoman’s intent to shrink the ODNI reassured her that Gabbard is a strong fit for the role, as did the nominee’s assurance during her confirmation hearing that she would not recommend a pardon nor any kind of clemency for national security leaker Edward Snowden.

Meanwhile, Young’s public support for the president’s DNI nominee follows extensive conversations he had with the vice president, whom he says was very “respectful” in their private discussions in helping get written assurances from Gabbard about her views on whistleblowers and other national security matters.

“JD Vance played a critical role in making sure that the administration knew that I required certain assurances before I could become a yes,” Young told reporters on Tuesday, a nod to his party’s one-seat majority on the Senate Intelligence panel requiring unanimous consent from Republicans to clear any nominee. “I was aware of the leverage I had, and I used it to good effect,” Young said.

Last week, Gabbard faced tough grilling from Democratic and Republican members of the Senate Intelligence Committee about her decision while in Congress to introduce legislation calling for the federal government to drop all charges against Snowden. Many Democratic and Republican members of the committee left her confirmation hearing surprised and frustrated that she declined to call the former National Security Agency contractor a “traitor,” instead opting to say he “broke the law” and that if confirmed as DNI, she would do everything in her power to avoid a “Snowden-like leak” under her watch.

Also during last Thursday’s confirmation hearing, Gabbard faced questions about her views on warrantless wiretaps as well as her decision in 2020 to oppose Trump’s drone strike on Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani.
