President Donald Trump said he would replace Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem with Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, pending Senate confirmation. The article also reviews Mullin’s business background and a published estimate of his net worth.
Trump announced that Mullin would replace Noem as Homeland Security secretary, with the change set to take effect March 31. Mullin would need Senate confirmation, and a White House official told Bloomberg the administration would work to confirm him quickly. Noem was named special envoy for the Western Hemisphere.
Mullin told reporters Trump called him shortly before the announcement. The article recounts Mullin’s business and personal background and says Quiver Quantitative estimated his net worth at $65.6 million in May of the previous year.

7 OUTLETSThe coverage agrees that Trump announced Markwayne Mullin as his choice to replace Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary. Left-leaning outlets frame the move as a brusque cabinet reshuffle, using a mocking tone about Noem’s removal and Mullin’s selection. Center outlets mostly take a descriptive, appointment-focused approach, also covering Mullin’s background, confirmation, and possible consequences such as a Senate vacancy and DHS’s funding lapse.
