""She should be out of a job," said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who voted to confirm Noem. "I would not support her again, and I think it probably is time for her to step down," said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who also voted to confirm Noem. Zoom in: "Kristi Noem should resign or be removed," said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), one of seven Democrats who voted for Noem."
""She clearly does not know what she's doing. She's not up to the job. She's lied to the American public, and it's time for her to go." Noem is "inept and absolutely incompetent," said Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) in an interview with Axios Pittsburgh. "I have said that in a normal administration, she would have been asked to resign by now. This is obviously not a normal administration," said Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.)."
"Between the lines: Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), who voted for Noem, dodged questions on whether she should resign. "I will have more to say about it tomorrow," she said. The big picture: More than three-quarters of House Democrats now back impeaching Noem, Axios' Andrew Solender reports. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that if Trump doesn't fire her, he'll push ahead on impeachment."
Multiple senators, including Republicans who confirmed her, called for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to step down, be fired, or be impeached. Senators described Noem as inept, incompetent, and dishonest, saying she is not up to the job. Some Democrats voted to confirm Noem yet now demand her removal, while others warned that resignation alone would be insufficient without broader DHS reform. House Democrats have moved toward impeachment, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he would push ahead if President Trump does not remove her. President Trump publicly defended Noem, calling her performance very good.
