It seems the confirmation foot dragging by the Dems may be backfiring on them. It has given the President ample time to herd stray Repubs.
Nice observation.

Once Kash is confirmed, we will have the full power of our intelligence agencies to examine how wayward judges have been influenced to perform unconstitutional acts as well.

Last updated
13 minutes ago
The U.S. Senate has rescheduled the confirmation vote for Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence from Tuesday night to Wednesday at 11:00 am due to snowfall in Washington, D.C. This delay also affects the subsequent procedural vote to break a filibuster on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services, expected on Thursday.

RFK Jr.'s HHS Nomination Advances
Last updated
3 minutes ago
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to become the Secretary of Health and Human Services passed a significant procedural vote in the Senate today with a tally of 53 to 47. This vote, known as the cloture vote, limits or ends debate on his nomination, moving it closer to a final confirmation. RFK Jr.'s nomination has sparked discussions due to his controversial views on vaccines, but has received support from some Republican senators and at least one Democratic senator, Lisa Murkowski.

I don’t think so. I know if the VP is not present to cast a tie-breaker, it end in a tie and the confirmation fails. At least, that is my belief.

I listened to the press briefing and question was asked about McConnell voting no -- press secy response was that they are certainly disappointed with any Republican voting against the president's selections/agenda.

Gabbard does have the votes and has been confirmed.

IMHO the Turtle is barking up the wrong tree.

Patel camp decries Durbin accusations as ‘politically motivated’ attempt to derail FBI confirmation
A Trump transition team official vehemently pushed back on the Democrats' allegations in a conversation with Fox News Digital, describing it as a politically motivated and meritless effort
By Breanne Deppisch Fox News
Published February 12, 2025 9:43am EST Updated February 12, 2025 10:06am EST

FIRST ON FOX: A team member for President Donald Trump's FBI director nominee, Kash Patel, pushed back Wednesday on allegations that Patel played a role in the firings of bureau personnel just hours after swearing not to do so during his confirmation hearing late last month – dismissing accusations from the panel's top Democrat as a politically motivated effort to derail his confirmation.

A senior transition team official for Patel refuted the allegations made by the ranking Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat, Dick Durbin, that Patel had orchestrated the firings after his confirmation hearing.

This person told Fox News that Patel had left Washington the night of his confirmation hearing to fly home to Las Vegas, where he has "been sitting there waiting for the process to play out."

The official also refuted the notion that Patel has had anything to do with the firings of bureau personnel, as alleged by Durbin in Senate floor remarks the previous day.
