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.

Center outlets balance his popularity and appeal as a safe pick against his history of near-physical altercations with hearing witnesses. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the confirmation contest, Mullin’s effort to win Democratic votes and the scramble for his Senate seat. Another article presents him as an experienced, loyal choice for Trump’s immigration agenda.
