If confirmed by the Senate, the former Democrat will be in charge of the CIA's operations.
US President-elect Donald Trump has selected former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as the next director of national intelligence. Gabbard, who switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party in 2024, has expressed her support for Trump’s presidential candidacy.
“For over two decades, Tulsi has fought for our country and the freedoms of all Americans,” Trump stated on Wednesday, asserting that Gabbard “has broad support in both parties.”
He further remarked that Gabbard “will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our intelligence community, championing our constitutional rights, and securing peace through strength.”
Should she be confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate, Gabbard would take the helm of the US intelligence community, which encompasses the NSA, the CIA, and the FBI.
Having served in Iraq and Kuwait during the 2000s, Gabbard achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel in the National Guard in 2021. She was a US Representative from Hawaii from 2013 until 2021.
In 2016, Gabbard resigned from her position as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee and later left the Democratic Party in 2022. “I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism,” she commented at that time.
Her presidential campaign in 2020 emphasized an anti-war platform, highlighting her criticisms of US military involvement in Iraq and Syria.
