来自俄克拉荷马州的共和党参议员马克韦恩·穆林，在其被提名担任唐纳德·特朗普总统下一任国土安全部（DHS）部长时，至少会获得一名民主党人的“支持”。
特朗普周四下午宣布，他提名穆林接替即将卸任的国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆，诺姆将于 3 月 31 日离开该机构。宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼立即表示支持穆林的提名，并将这位俄克拉荷马州议员称为“比诺姆更好的选择”。
费特曼多次呼吁罢免诺姆，并表示周四他对特朗普的决定感到满意。
“我们分属不同政党，但这是一种选择。我希望能共同努力，让我们的美国更加安全，”他说道。

费特曼还表示，他坚信穆林已经拥有获得确认所需的票数。参议院共和党人普遍预计会支持穆林的提名，而这位性格开朗的俄克拉荷马州议员可能会争取到一些民主党人的支持。阿拉斯加州共和党参议员莉萨·穆尔科斯基曾投票反对一些特朗普提名的人选，她说她对穆林“非常尊重”，并且“同意”他的提名。
根据参议院规则，内阁成员提名需要 51 票的门槛。
然而，费特曼的许多民主党同僚要么对穆林的提名不置可否，要么表示不会支持他。

参议院共和党人准备关键的停摆测试投票，民主党人在国土安全部资金问题上态度坚决
“无论谁接替克里斯蒂·诺姆，在管理这个机构的方法上都必须彻底且根本地不同，”康涅狄格州民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔周四表示。“更换最高负责人并不能替代改变一个失控部门的做法和权力结构。”
布卢门撒尔补充说，穆林必须承诺接受民主党提出的各种改革要求，以限制移民执法，才能获得他的支持。
穆林曾多次批评民主党提出的禁止联邦移民官员在执法行动中戴口罩以及要求司法令状的提案。
停摆时钟滴答作响，舒默和民主党人在国土安全部资金需求上态度坚决
“我个人喜欢他，”夏威夷民主党参议员、参议院民主党领导层成员布莱恩·沙茨在谈到穆林时表示，随后补充说现在讨论他的提名还为时过早。
罗德岛州民主党参议员杰克·里德和密歇根州民主党参议员伊莉萨·斯洛特金告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他们暂不就穆林的提名表态。值得注意的是，斯洛特金尽管后来对诺姆感到不满，但仍投票支持了她的确认。

周四下午，在华盛顿特区美国国会大厦外接受记者采访时，穆林对提名消息似乎有些意外。
“不，总统和我还需要沟通，所以我们会讨论后续事宜，”穆林说。“总统和我已经谈过了……我稍后会再和你们所有人谈。”
在国土安全部拨款资金陷入僵局、前景不明的情况下，费特曼一直是唯一一位推进国土安全部支出法案的民主党人。
他对民主党同僚会因穆林的提名而改变立场支持国土安全部资金表示怀疑，他告诉记者，他预计部分停摆的局面不会改变。

President Donald Trump fires DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and names Sen. Markwayne Mullin as her replacement after he was reportedly unhappy with her testimony regarding a $220 million ad campaign.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., will have at least one Democratic “yes” vote in support of his nomination to become President Donald Trump’s next Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary.
Trump announced Thursday afternoon that he tapped Mullin to replace outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who will leave the agency March 31. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., immediately threw his support behind Mullin’s nomination, dubbing the Oklahoma lawmaker a “nice upgrade” compared to Noem.
Fetterman repeatedly called for Noem’s ouster and said Thursday he was pleased with Trump’s decision.
“We’re in a different party, but this is the choice. I want to work together for making our America more secure,” he said.

Fetterman also said that he strongly believes Mullin already has the votes to win confirmation. Senate Republicans are widely expected to back Mullin’s nomination, and the jovial Oklahoma lawmaker could win over some Democrats. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who has voted against some Trump nominees, said she has a “great deal of respect” for Mullin and is “OK” with his nomination.
Under Senate rules, Cabinet nominations are set at a 51-vote threshold.
However, many of Fetterman’s Democratic colleagues were either noncommittal about Mullin’s nomination or suggested they would not support him.

SENATE REPUBLICANS TEE UP KEY SHUTDOWN TEST VOTE AS DEMOCRATS DIG IN ON DHS FUNDING
“Whoever follows Kristi Noem is going to have to be totally and radically different in their approach to running this agency,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said Thursday. “Changing the person at the top is no substitute for changing the practices and the power structure of a department that is out of control.”
Blumenthal added that Mullin would have to commit to Democrats’ various reforms seeking to rein in immigration enforcement in order to win his vote.
Mullin has repeatedly criticized Democrats’ proposal to prohibit federal immigration officers from wearing masks and requiring judicial warrants during enforcement operations.

“I like him personally,” Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, a member of Senate Democratic leadership, said of Mullin before adding that it was too early to debate his nomination.
Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., told Fox News Digital that they would not yet weigh in on Mullin’s nomination. Slotkin notably voted for Noem’s confirmation despite later souring on the secretary.

Mullin appeared somewhat taken aback by the news of his nomination when talking with reporters outside the U.S. Capitol on Thursday afternoon.
“No, the president and I still have to communicate, so we’ll talk about it moving forward,” Mullin said. “The president and I have already talked… I’ll talk to you all [later].”
Fetterman has been the lone Democrat to advance a DHS spending measure amid a funding standoff over the agency’s appropriations that has no clear end in sight.
He poured cold water on the prospect of his Democratic colleagues reversing course to support funding DHS in response to Mullin’s nomination, telling reporters he expected “no change” with the partial shutdown.
