With the Senate Intelligence Committee set to vote this week on Gina Haspel, Trump’s pick to head the CIA, Senator Tammy Baldwin is still dodging questions on whether she’ll vote to confirm her. Gina Haspel is widely considered the single most qualified individual to fill this vital national security position, even still, Baldwin’s Democratic colleagues are working to obstruct her nomination.
Stuck between a rock and hard place, Senator Baldwin will have to choose between succumbing to the intense pressure from her liberal “resister” base that demands she obstruct everything-and-anything Trump touches, or voting to equip the nation with what it needs to keep Americans safe.
So, which will it be, Senator Baldwin, protecting our national security or obstructing Trump?
