The Senate voted on Feb. 10 to invoke cloture on the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to the position of director of national intelligence, bringing the former congresswoman one step closer to confirmation.

The 52–46 vote means senators have 30 hours to debate the nomination before taking a final vote on Gabbard’s confirmation.
