Three takeaways from DHS nominee Kristi Noem’s confirmation hearing

Published



Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), President-elect Donald Trump‘s nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security, cruised through a confirmation hearing Friday on Capitol Hill, just three days before the inauguration in Washington.

Noem is expected to be on track for a forthcoming Senate confirmation vote after surviving a fairly quiet hearing that lasted less than three hours. She faced a minimal amount of pushback from Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
