Trump team is already floating names for Noem's replacement as frustration with her job performance boils over: report [View all]

The Trump administration is floating possible replacements for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, despite insistence from the White House that she’s not going anywhere, according to a report.

The former South Dakota governor has led President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda — a flashpoint of his second term — since January, and he has frequently showered her with praise. At a Cabinet meeting last week, Trump hailed Noem and other immigration officials: “What you're doing is amazing.”

Yet, inside the Trump administration, a list of names to replace Noem is being discussed, including Virginia GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin and Fox News contributor and former Utah Republican lawmaker Jason Chaffetz, an administration official and two close to the administration told Politico.

“I’m hearing from people that she’s about to leave,” one person close to the administration told the outlet, noting that Noem wouldn’t be fired but would be departing for “another opportunity.” Both the White House and DHS have denied claims that she’s leaving her post.
