**Gabbard's Confirmation Process**
Key Republican senators are showing deference to President Trump's nominee, Tulsi Gabbard, but may not maintain this stance indefinitely. Some senators have expressed concerns about Gabbard's views on Russia and her opposition to FISA, a tool for national security.
* Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) suggests that senators may advise the president to reconsider Gabbard if new information arises.
* Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) wants to question Gabbard about her posture toward Russia.
* Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) views Gabbard as a nominee who highlights the importance of a full background check and public hearing.
Gabbard is expected to begin formal meetings with senators after Thanksgiving and has already held informal calls. Her close relationships with senators in both parties may influence the confirmation process.**Related Hashtags**
