From the Washington Examiner: The Senate on Sunday advanced the nomination of Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to serve as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, clearing another procedural hurdle ahead of a final confirmation vote in the coming days.
Lawmakers voted 54-37 to invoke cloture on Mullin’s nomination, a step that limits debate and sets up a final vote on whether to confirm the Oklahoma Republican nomination.

The Senate is expected to hold the final confirmation vote on Monday or Tuesday. If Mullin is approved, he will then assume the role as the new Secretary of Homeland Security.
