Senator John Thune (R-SD) was elected Senate Majority Leader on Wednesday, taking over from Senate Republican boss Mitch McConnell (R-KY). McConnell, the longest-serving Senate leader in history, announced that he would step down at the beginning of this year.  Also running for the position were Senators Rick Scott (R-FL) and John Cornyn (R-TX). Scott, widely considered the most populist-aligned of the trio, failed to make it past the first ballot, and Thune was elected with a majority of 29 votes on the second ballot. Thune is a sometime Trump critic, having issued a sharp condemnation of the president for his actions on January 6, although he voted against impeachment in the Senate trial that followed. His selection may be evidence for a Republican Senate that continues to act relatively independently from the rest of the party.

President-elect Donald Trump officially announced Wednesday that South Dakota’s Gov. Kristi Noem is his choice to lead the Department of Homeland Security in his second administration. pic.twitter.com/iG62GDzXZ9— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 13, 2024 Noem, a staunch Trump supporter, has been aligned with the once and future president on what will be the most pressing item in her portfolio, immigration. In the House of Representatives, she supported Trump’s moratorium on refugees from nations with high levels of terrorism, which critics dubbed “Muslim ban.” As governor, she announced that she was sending her state’s National Guard to enforce the southern border, a measure that was thwarted by federal litigation. She joins immigration hardliners like Stephen Miller, the incoming deputy chief of staff for policy, and Thomas Homan, the incoming “border czar.” The post Noem to Be DHS Sec appeared first on The American Conservative.
