(WASHINGTON, DC) – Senator Kevin Cramer is weighing in on the cabinet picks by President-Elect Donald Trump.
“I’ve been a strong yes on everybody, including Pete Hegseth,” he said on The Flag’s What’s On Your Mind Friday morning.
The picks include North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who has been nominated by Trump to serve as Secretary of the Interior, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, whom Trump has tapped to lead as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
“When President Trump asked me, I said yes because it is an opportunity for me to serve our nation – but also because it is an opportunity to make South Dakota safer,” Noem said after the nomination. “I respect the Senate’s role to engage fully and openly on the upcoming confirmation process. I look forward to discussing our nation’s security challenges and my commitment to addressing them head-on.”
