Former South Dakota governor and congresswoman Kristi Noem will lead the sprawling Department of Homeland Security.

The US Senate confirmed on Saturday, January 26, the candidacy of Kristi Noem for the position of Secretary of Homeland Security, CNN reports.

It was noted that the candidate received support from representatives of both parties, 59-34.

Kristi Noem, 53, has served as governor of South Dakota since 2019 and is a former state legislator and four-term member of Congress.

He will now head Homeland Security, a sprawling department that oversees agencies such as US Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the US Secret Service.

Let’s remember that one day before the US Senate approved the candidacy of the head of the Pentagon in the second attempt. This is former Fox TV host Pete Hagseth.

Before this, the Senate confirmed the candidacy of John Ratcliffe for the position of head of the Central Intelligence Agency.
