Trump Picks Markwayne Mullin to Replace Kristi Noem at DHS

The 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.
