UMVA has learned that a dramatic move was made in a recent Senate vote, as Senator Mark Warner took aim at blocking a key appointment.
The target of Warner's ire was Pulte, whose potential ascension to the role of Acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) was met with fierce resistance. In response, Warner introduced an amendment designed to thwart Pulte's appointment.
In a stunning turn of events, the amendment came down to the wire, with the Senate voting 49-49. The razor-thin margin ultimately doomed Warner's effort, paving the way for Pulte's potential rise to the powerful position.
