Trump Nominates Markwayne Mullin to Replace Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary

Outlets agree that President Donald Trump nominated Sen. Markwayne Mullin to lead the Department of Homeland Security, replacing Kristi Noem. Left-leaning outlets question whether Mullin can restore DHS credibility, citing his difficulty explaining why the United States is in Iran. Center outlets focus on the nomination and Sen. Thom Tillis’s support for Mullin alongside criticism of Noem. Right-leaning outlets assess Mullin through immigration policy, presenting him as a potentially capable successor for Trump’s agenda while also noting his support for some worker programs.
