Senate advances Mullin to head Department of Homeland Security


Goddamn fetterman and Martin Heinrich.

The Senate voted Sunday to advance Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s (R-Okla.) nomination to succeed Kristi Noem as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), taking a step toward restoring stability at a department that has been in turmoil since the fatal shooting of two protesters in Minneapolis earlier this year.

The Senate voted 54 to 37 to advance Mullin, setting up a final vote on his nomination for Monday or Tuesday.

Mullin picked up the support of centrist Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who cast a critical vote for his colleague in the Homeland Security Committee last week after the committee’s chair, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), voted “no,” citing concerns about Mullin’s temperament.

Fetterman said he backs Mullin’s nomination because he sees him as an improvement over Noem and someone with whom he has a “constructive working relationship.”
