The Senate held a trio of high-profile hearings for Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Kash Patel last week.

Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, will likely face the easiest confirmation path of the three. He appears to have the support of the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Also, the three Republicans who voted against Pete Hegseth’s nomination have not outwardly expressed opposition.
