Allies of President Donald Trump have been quick to threaten primary challengers for Republican senators who don’t back Trump's Cabinet picks and legislative priorities.

Tulsi Gabbard as President Donald Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence—the latest controversial Trump cabinet pick to face Senate scrutiny as some Republicans have expressed unease about Gabbard’s controversial worldviews.

His nomination roiled FBI insiders, with reports emerging that the bureau could face mass resignations should he secure the post.

Senate Republicans are under growing pressure from prominent former Republican officials to reject President Trump’s pick to head the FBI, Kash Patel, setting the stage for another bruising confirmation later this week.

Gabbard’s attack strategy at her confirmation hearing Thursday didn’t garner the high praise from Republicans some other Trump nominees have gotten.

The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth late Friday, swatting back questions about his qualifications to lead the Pentagon.

A Princeton and Harvard-educated former combat veteran, Hegseth went on to make a career at Fox News, where he hosted a weekend show. Trump tapped him as the defense secretary to lead an organization with nearly 2.1 million service members, about 780,000 civilians and a budget of $850 billion.

Three Republicans voted with every Democrat against Trump’s controversial pick to lead the Pentagon, forcing Vance to step in and put Hegseth over the top.
