– Democratic U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich is voting to advance the nomination of Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin for Department of Homeland Security Secretary, calling him a friend. Senator Heinrich made the announcement on Sunday, crossing party lines to support the nomination of Senator Mullin for DHS Secretary.
The senator representing New Mexico said both he and Senator Mullin have an “Honest and constructive working relationship.” He says they often disagree but work to find common ground.
The nomination for Senator Mullin comes as former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was fired earlier this month, marking President Trump’s first removal of a cabinet secretary in his second term.
