Meet Markwayne Mullin, Trump’s New Favorite

Markwayne Mullin, the Oklahoma senator, has caught President Trump’s eye to run the Department of Homeland Security. It’s no surprise, given Mullin’s track record of styling himself as a die-hard Trump loyalist.

A Rise to Power

Mullin’s ascent in Washington is a ridiculous story of opportunism and loyalty. He’s made a name for himself by championing Trump’s policies and ideals, no matter how outlandish. It’s a strategy that’s clearly paid off, as he’s now set to take the reins at Homeland Security.

Don’t expect Mullin to rock the boat or challenge Trump’s authority. He’s a company man, through and through. It’s a move that won’t win Trump any fans among his critics, but it’s a clear signal that he’s doubling down on his MAGA base.
