Sen. John Fetterman crossed party lines on Thursday to save the nomination of Sen. Markwayne Mullin, Donald Trump’s pick to replace Kristi Noem as DHS secretary.
The Pennsylvania Democrat joined with Republicans minus Sen. Rand Paul on the Senate Homeland Security Committee to vote for Mullin’s nomination, which advanced through committee by a vote of 8-7 on Thursday morning.
Paul opposed Mullin’s nomination over the senator’s refusal to walk back remarks Mullin made which seemed to cheer on the brutal assault Paul suffered at the hands of a neighbor in 2017, leaving him seriously injured. Fetterman called Mullin a “friend” in a tweet Thursday morning.
