With the Senate Intelligence Committee set to vote this week on Gina Haspel, Trump’s pick to head the CIA, Senator Bill Nelson is still dodging questions on whether he’ll vote to confirm her. Gina Haspel is widely considered the single most qualified individual to fill this vital national security position, even still, Nelson’s Democratic colleagues are working to obstruct her nomination.
Stuck between a rock and hard place, Senator Nelson will have to choose between succumbing to the intense pressure from his liberal “resister” base that demands he 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 Nelson, protecting our national security or obstructing Trump?
