New DHS Sec Kristi Noem Was So Late to Take the Oath That JD Vance Bailed, Forcing Clarence Thomas to Swear Her In at His House: Report

Kristi Noem was confirmed as the Secretary of Homeland Security by the U.S. Senate with a vote of 59-34 and sworn in by Justice Clarence Thomas at his home. The event was significant but marred by her tardiness, leading to Vice President JD Vance leaving after waiting 25 minutes. Noem's late arrival was due to a delay in receiving her father's Bible, which she wished to use during the ceremony. The DHS celebrated her confirmation on their website with photos and a statement from Noem.

It is such an honor to be sworn in as the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. It was made even more meaningful by being sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas at his home.

While the DHS website made no mention of any delays or drama, Politico reported Thomas was tapped to swear the former South Dakota governor in at his own home because Vance bailed out after waiting for her for 25 minutes.
