The Senate confirmed Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) as Department of Homeland Security secretary.
The final vote was 54-45.
Sens. John Fetterman (D-PA) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) were the only Democrats to vote yes.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was the only Republican to vote no.
Sen. Reuben Gallego (D-AZ) did not vote.
President Donald Trump appointed Mullin to the top DHS post on March 5, after he ousted Kristi Noem following a few dismal weeks.
According to reports, Trump started to lose confidence in Noem after the chaos in Minneapolis with ICE and the border patrol.
I mean, Trump sent in Border Czar Tom Homan, and he achieved peace in about two weeks!
But it appears the final straw came during a Senate hearing, when Noem told Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) that he had approved a contract connected to those in her inner circle.
