'Way too much out there': CNN panel predicts next Trump Cabinet pick to crash and burn
November 25, 2024
Now that former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is out of the running to be the next attorney general of the United States, more attention is being paid to other controversial Trump nominees.
A panel on CNN on Monday predicted that the next most difficult Trump nominee to confirm after Gaetz would be former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI), who has been nominated to be director of national intelligence.
"I actually think Tulsi Gabbard is going to have the hardest time," speculated former Biden official Meghan Hays. "I just think there's way too much out there. The intelligence community is extremely tight and extremely tight-knit and I think some of her actions in the past and some of the reporting is going to trip her up."

New York Times journalist Lulu Garcia-Navarro was even more scathing in her assessment of Gabbard's qualifications to be national intelligence director.
"There is just a long history there of her cozying up to America's enemies," she said. "And not just, like, 'Oh, are they our enemies today or are they not?' Like, actually people who are bad by every single estimation! Bashar al-Assad massacred his own people!"
She then predicted that "there's going to be other shoes that are going to drop" that would further derail Gabbard's ambitions.
