President Donald Trump keeps racking up the wins. Pete Hegseth was sworn in as Secretary of Defense earlier Saturday after being confirmed by the Senate Friday night by a 50-50 vote, with Vice President J.D. Vance casting the tiebreaking vote. Now we're learning that Kristi Noem has been confirmed as the new Secretary of Homeland Security. Anything — a wet sponge — would have been a huge upgrade over Alejandro "The Border Is Secure" Mayorkas, so we'll take it.
🚨BREAKING: The Senate has confirmed Kristi Noem in rare weekend vote to become the Secretary of Homeland Security. The vote was 59-34 with six Democrats joining Republicans in voting to confirm.

Six Democrats broke ranks? That's unheard of.
Huge win for America’s security!

Let’s get Tulsi through now.
— Jeff Carlson (@themarketswork) January 25, 2025
We still need to get Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed. Those will be a tougher sell.
The Senate's approval of Noem is a clear message that we want security, not ideology.

I know some people are critical of Kristi Noem, but I think she’ll do a good job.

Again, a huge upgrade. Plus, it shows some momentum on Trump's part in getting his nominations through the Senate.
