The nomination of Tulsi Gabbard, known for her active public position and military experience, is likely to spark a serious debate in the Senate during the confirmation process.

Gabbard, who has a background in the National Guard and ran in the 2020 presidential election as a Democratic candidate, subsequently left her party in 2022. Since then, she has become an active supporter of Trump, joining his campaign and joining his transition team.

Gabbard's appointment is supported by Trump's close allies, including Steve Bannon, who noted that Gabbard has long sought to make changes in the US intelligence community, which he believes needs reform. Her appointment is seen as the new administration's desire to reform national intelligence, in particular, to increase transparency and accountability in this area.

Tulsi Gabbard also advised Trump before his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in September, which was part of her political work on the Trump team.
