Trump taps Noem for Homeland Security

Former South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is President Trump's pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

Noem, a Republican, is a staunch supporter of Trump and his policies.

She is a strong advocate for border security and has been critical of illegal immigration.

Noem is also a supporter of the Second Amendment and has opposed gun control measures.

If confirmed by the Senate, Noem would be the first woman to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

Noem's nomination is likely to face some opposition from Democrats.

Some Democrats have criticized her record on immigration and gun control.

They are also concerned about her lack of experience in national security.

Noem's supporters argue that she is a strong leader with a proven track record of success.

They say she is the right person to lead the Department of Homeland Security at a time when the country is facing a number of threats.

Noem's nomination is expected to be a major issue in the upcoming midterm elections.

Republicans are hoping that her nomination will help them energize their base and win back control of the Senate.

Democrats are hoping to use her nomination to mobilize their base and win back control of the House.

The confirmation process is likely to be contentious, but Noem is expected to be confirmed by the Senate.
