Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump's nominees for Director of National Intelligence and Secretary of Health and Human Services respectively, faced intense scrutiny during their Senate confirmation hearings.
Tulsi Gabbard , President Donald Trump's choice to be the Director of National Intelligence, faced a contentious Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday. The hearing, which lasted several hours, saw Gabbard grilled by both Democrats and Republicans on a range of issues, including her past meetings with Syrian President Bashar Assad and her views on Russia. Gabbard defended her loyalty to the U.S.
and her work as diplomacy, but some senators expressed concerns about her ability to build the trust needed to do the job. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, also faced tough questioning from senators over his past views on vaccines and his stance on abortion. Kennedy defended his record and insisted that he would be guided by science as secretary, but some Democrats expressed skepticism about his commitment to public health. The confirmation hearings for both Gabbard and Kennedy come amid a tumultuous start to the Trump administration. The president has faced criticism for his executive orders, his handling of the transition, and his rhetoric. The hearings are also taking place against a backdrop of heightened political polarization. The Senate, which is led by Republicans 53-47, is expected to confirm both nominees, but the hearings have underscored the deep divisions in American politics.
