39 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Trump named Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary. The appointment requires Senate confirmation. Left-leaning outlets connect the change to scrutiny of Noem and questions about Mullin’s qualifications. Center outlets mostly present the transition as a staffing change, while noting scrutiny of Noem and questions about immigration policy. Right-leaning outlets stress the administration’s border-enforcement agenda and, in some coverage, support for Mullin or his confirmation prospects.
