Markwayne Mullin Confirmation Hearing Follows Nomination

The Markwayne Mullin confirmation hearing comes after President Donald Trump nominated Mullin to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

Trump selected Mullin to replace former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was removed from the position earlier this year.

Senate Seat Could Open

If the Markwayne Mullin confirmation hearing leads to confirmation, Mullin would be required to resign his seat in the U.S. Senate.

Under Oklahoma law, Governor Kevin Stitt would appoint a temporary replacement to serve until voters elect a permanent successor during the November general election.
