<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The report, which cited a Trump transition source and a second source with knowledge of the issue, said the senators were concerned about Gabbard&#8217;s 2017 visit to Syria and meeting with former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and &#8220;her lack of significant intelligence experience.&#8221;</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Gabbard added that she was having &#8220;great meetings&#8221; with senators but dodged questions about her confidence in getting confirmed.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Despite numerous meetings with both Republican and Democratic senators over the last few weeks, not one senator has publicly said they will approve Gabbard for the position.</p>
