The Senate Intelligence Committee approved Donald Trump's nominee for the Director of National Intelligence on Tuesday, but that doesn't mean she's a done deal.
The vote to move Tulsi Gabbard out of committee came down on a party-line vote as Democrats voiced their concerns over her lack of experience and her advocacy for those who took classified documents and put them online.
CNN's Manu Raju revealed Wednesday morning that at least one Republican isn't sold on her: Sen. John Curtis (R-UT), who was just elected to take over for long-time Trump foe former Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT).

“The process isn’t over,” Curtis told Raju about Gabbard.
He reportedly has concerns.
Last week, Curtis told the Desert News, “Some of her responses, and non-responses, created more confusion than clarity and only deepened my concerns about her judgment and what that will mean in this vital role."
“With Ms. Gabbard, I have said that it was like having a sheet of music that was missing notes. I had hoped that listening to the hearing today that she would fill in those gaps,” Curtis said. “Frankly, there are many notes still missing and a number of sour notes and awkward silences that simply don’t ring true as a political philosophy on critical national security issues.”
