At that point we were in "wait and see" mode since often these reports don't pan out.

However, it's now being reported that, yes, Trump announced on Truth Social that he was replacing Noem and moving her to a different position:

We were hoping a little that Tom Homan might have gotten the job but maybe Trump considers the country better served right where he is.
