U.S. Senator Katie Britt of Alabama has expressed her support for Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation as Director of National Intelligence under President Trump. In a recent vote, Britt endorsed Gabbard's appointment, citing her commitment to national security.

"Today, I voted to confirm Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence because she will do everything in her power to keep Americans safe and ensure our homeland is secure," stated Senator Britt. She emphasized the importance of analytical objectivity in intelligence work, highlighting Gabbard's approach to providing comprehensive information for critical decision-making by the president.

Britt also praised Gabbard's potential to reform the intelligence community by reducing bureaucratic bias and aligning with President Trump's Peace Through Strength doctrine. "She will be a key player in achieving President Trump’s Peace Through Strength doctrine," Britt added. "Together, I look forward to making America safe again."

The senator had previously met with Gabbard in January to discuss her vision for the department and Alabama's role in national security. After their meeting, Britt remarked on the significance of Huntsville’s Missile and Space Intelligence Center and expressed enthusiasm about potentially hosting Gabbard in Alabama post-confirmation.
