Trump Announces Noem's Departure and Mullin's DHS Selection

Trump announced that Kristi Noem would leave as Homeland Security secretary for a special envoy role and named Sen. Markwayne Mullin as his choice to succeed her. Left-leaning outlets connect Noem’s departure to broader controversies surrounding her DHS tenure. Center outlets focus on the succession and scrutiny of her testimony about the ad campaign.
