Donald Trump has nominated former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard to be his Director of National Intelligence.
The former Army Lieutenant Colonel who served Hawaii in Congress was tipped for a senior national security role after becoming a Trump ally.
The 43-year-old formally announced that she joined the Republican Party at a campaign rally alongside Trump in the summer.
She will be nominated to succeed current DNI Avril Haines in the Senate-confirmed position.
Gabbard was a lifelong Democrat, and served in the party as a U.S. Representative from Hawaii from 2013 until 2021. She rose to national prominence during her unsuccessful Democratic primary bid in 2020.
