Josh Hawley 'worried' not enough Republicans will support Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation

President Donald Trump-nominee to serve as National Intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, may not be confirmed, according to concerns from Republican Sen. Josh Hawley.

Hawley says he is “worried” that his Republican coworkers are not ready to back Gabbard for the key role.

The senator opened up about his feelings on the matter during a recent Fox News Interview where he sat down with Fox News host Jesse Watters.

“I have to tell you I'm worried by what I hear from some of my Republican colleagues, I'm worried that her nomination may be in jeopardy. And I'm just worried about what that will mean,” Hawley began in the interview.

Hawley went on to discuss his hopes for Gabbard.

“We need reform to stop the abuse of things like FISA Section 702. Stop spying on Americans. I hope Tulsi gets confirmed because we need that kind of reform,” Hawley went on.

Hawley has been reported to not be alone in his opinion, joined by Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana.

Kennedy revealed that out of all of Trump’s nominees, he believes Gabbard is the nominee least likely to be confirmed.

“I expect most if not all of [the nominees] to be confirmed. Why? Number one, the president’s dug in like a tick. He wants these people. But number two, you’ve got to remember these confirmation hearings matter,” Kennedy explained.

Kennedy also touched on what he feels may happen next.

“If a nominee acts like a complete meathead or starts screaming like he or she is part of a prison riot, people are gonna say ‘woah, we need to take a second look.’ But short of that, I think most if not all will be confirmed. The one most on the bubble, as you know as well as I do, is Tulsi Gabbard,” said Kennedy.

For now, all Gabbard and the rest of America can do is wait to see what the results of her confirmation hearing will be.

Do you think she will be confirmed to the position?
