President Donald Trump is ousting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and replacing her with Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) — and GOP senators are thrilled with the new pick.
Trump’s announcement came after he quietly consulted Hill Republicans on whether to fire Noem, as we scooped in AM. Trump was upset that Noem told senators in a hearing that he approved her controversial $220 million ad campaign asking undocumented immigrants to leave the country. Noem starred in the ads.
