The Senate voted 54-37 on Sunday to advance Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin's nomination as Homeland Security Secretary, with confirmation expected Monday. Mullin would replace Kristi Noem, whom President Trump fired in early March, though some senators opposed the nomination citing concerns over allegations of encouraging political violence.
