"If a flicker of sense still shines above a handful of seats on the Republican side of the Senate, Thursday's hearing should mark the end of Tulsi Gabbard."

"Right now it appears that Senators Collins, Murkowski, and McConnell are likely "no" votes on Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for Director of National Intelligence.  This would mean that she would not be confirmed."

Tulsi Gabbard's nomination "may be in jeopardy."

"President Trump nominated Tulsi Gabbard because he believes she will do an excellent job as the Director of National Intelligence, and we expect the Senate to confirm her.”

"I fully believe that Tulsi [Gabbard] will get through."

"She's going to be confirmed [as the next Director of National Intelligence]."

Tulsi Gabbard is "going to be Director of National Intelligence."

"I feel confident that Tulsi Gabbard will ultimately get through."

Will Tulsi Gabbard Be Confirmed as Director of National Intelligence?

"It [2026 Midterms]'s going to be dominated by what party is making you safe and prosperous. It's not going to be dominated by subsidies [Trump's presidential actions]. It's going to be dominated by the big stuff."

“A chunk of [GOP voters] who put them in power in 2024 are Trump-specific voters; they will vote GOP down ballot when Trump is running but won’t turn out to vote for a typical congressman in a midterm when Trump isn’t running.”

"As we have seen, the president’s party almost always loses ground in the midterm election following his victory... [but] if Republicans are to have a serious chance of retaining control of the House, President Trump will have to improve his job approval significantly."

"If legal immigrants begin to be deported without having committed any crime [by Trump admin], get ready for Republicans to lose the [2026] midterms by a landslide."

“The President will help his Republican friends on Capitol Hill get reelected [in 2026 Midterms], and work to pick up new seats across the country.”

"President Trump is the main event for the party [2026 midterms]."

"Republicans have reason to worry that the president’s political decline will affect their performance in next year [2026]’s midterm elections."

“All these people that he [Trump] helps — he doesn’t help everybody — but for those he does, he’s a difference maker, and he’s certainly a turnout machine.”

"Whether congressional GOPers can turn things around for the ‘26 midterms is more dependent on Trump than ever."

“All of the kinds of things [Trump's] doing now will result in him losing—certainly losing the House of Representatives."

"What’s crazy is that the 2026 midterms are entirely in Trump’s control."

"The success or failure of the Grand Old Party (GOP) next year [2026 US Midterms] will be decided on the strength or weakness of President Trump’s coattails."

Will Donald Trump be a Primary Voting Factor in the 2026 US Midterms?

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a former CIA undercover officer and ally of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, is stepping down from two Trump administration intelligence posts, with her resignation effective Friday.

The Washington Post

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a former CIA undercover officer and ally of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, is stepping down from two Trump administration intelligence posts, with her resignation effective Friday.

Five people familiar with the matter confirmed Kennedy's departure, with one saying it was driven in part by her opposition to Trump's military involvement in Iran — a conflict now in its 12th week.

Kennedy simultaneously held three intelligence roles: deputy to Gabbard at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, associate director at the Office of Management and Budget overseeing classified intelligence budgets, and a seat on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.

Kennedy's departure follows that of Joe Kent, who resigned as director of the National Counterterrorism Center in March, also citing disagreement with Trump's war in Iran. Both had previously voiced opposition to a conflict with Iran in pre-2024 election interviews.

Kennedy was involved in an effort to increase Trump's budget request for the ODNI by 20% and helped lead the push to declassify historical documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

Gabbard said Kennedy "successfully aligned the Intelligence Community agencies with the Administration's and ODNI's goals" and confirmed Kennedy would remain a member of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board after leaving her ODNI and OMB roles.
