Sen. Lankford: The Vote to Confirm Markwayne Mullin as New DHS Sec. Will Be ‘Overwhelming’

EXCERPT:

LANKFORD: “I think it will be overwhelming, actually. I think you’re going to be surprised the number of Democrats that even step in and actually support Markwayne. Markwayne is a strong conservative, but he is also somebody that talks to both sides of the aisle. He’s pretty Frank and straightforward in getting a chance to be able to work through. He has the trust of the president on this. And I think he’ll not only do a good job when he gets there, but it will be a pretty easy confirmation process.”
