And he's attracted scrutiny for some of the
investments that he's made over the years that have made him personally wealthy while he's been in Congress.
But one thing that was notable during his confirmation hearing is that if you looked past the kind of personal animosity between Mullen and the chairman of the committee, Senator Rand Paul, fellow Republican, those two have a simmering beef.
If you look beyond that, he got a lot of kind of warm, supportive statements from Democrats.
He obviously has friends among the Democrats.
Are you a yes or a no on Senator Mullen's confirmation?
Well, I came up with an open mind, and I'm going to maintain that.
He got Senator Fetterman and Senator Heinrich from New Mexico to support his confirmation.
And he does have this reputation as a kind of jocular, back-slapping, friendly guy.
And I think that that is the persona he's trying to bring into DHS at a time when the department is—
is looking for a kind of reset and a rebranding of its own.
And most importantly, the career workforce at the department that has been demoralized by what they've seen over the past year, where a lot of people were very
disgusted with Kristi Noem and most importantly, her chief advisor, Corey Lewandowski, a lot of those people have been telling me that they're very eager for a fresh start and that Mullen is saying all the right things to kind of win them over so far.
Well, it's been very interesting because, you know, Mark Wayne Mullen has never run a federal bureaucracy.
He doesn't have a law enforcement or military background.
And so he's coming into DHS, you know, as a newbie and clearly needs some kind of mentor.
It's no surprise that the border czar, Tom Homan...
who retains a lot of support among the kind of DHS workforce and represents a kind of institutional continuity at DHS and who clashed bitterly with Noam and Lewandowski.
So it's no surprise that Homan seems to be kind of taking Mullen under his wing.
He's been talking to Mullen multiple times a day.
