Trump Tapping Noem to Lead Homeland Security: Reports

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is reportedly President Trump's pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security

Noem, a Republican, has been a vocal supporter of Trump and his policies. She has also been a critic of illegal immigration and has taken a hard line on border security.

Noem's nomination would come at a time when the Department of Homeland Security is facing a number of challenges, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the rise of white supremacist extremism, and the growing threat from cyberattacks.

Noem has no experience in national security or law enforcement, but her supporters say she has the leadership skills and determination to succeed in the role.

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 opposition from Democrats, who have criticized her record on immigration and civil liberties.

However, Noem is a popular figure among Republicans, and her nomination is likely to be approved by the Senate.

Noem's nomination comes at a time when the Department of Homeland Security is facing a number of challenges, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the rise of white supremacist extremism, and the growing threat from cyberattacks.

Noem has said that she is committed to working with Congress to address these challenges and to ensure the safety and security of the United States.
