Goddamn fetterman and Martin Heinrich.
The Senate voted Sunday to advance Sen. Markwayne Mullins (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 committees chair, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), voted no, citing concerns about Mullins temperament.
Fetterman said he backs Mullins nomination because he sees him as an improvement over Noem and someone with whom he has a constructive working relationship.
