Some Democratic senators regret voting to confirm Kristi Noem as DHS secretary

[CrispyQ]

51. Both my senators have voted yes on multiple noms, & one even made the naughty list.

I've called both offices to ask, "What part of 'You don't give fascists any quarter,' don't you understand?" Hickenlooper gave some lame ass excuse (to the media, not me), about not pissing off people you need to work with. WTF?

WAKE THE FUCK UP! THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO WORK WITH YOU!!!

This page compares how U.S. senators voted on President Donald Trump's (R) nominees for Cabinet and Cabinet-rank positions in 2025.

Twenty-one nominees had been confirmed, as of March 10, 2025. Eight senators were tied for the most votes (19) cast against Trump's Cabinet nominees.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.)
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii)
Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.)
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.)
Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.)
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.)
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)

The most support from Democrats for Trump's nominees came from five Democrats who had voted to support 10 (48%) of Trump's nominees so far:

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.)
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.)
Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.)
Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.)
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.)

One Republican, Mitch McConnell, voted against four nominees: Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense, Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of health and human services, and Lori Chavez-DeRemer for secretary of labor. Four other Republicans voted against one nominee. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) voted against Hegseth and Sens. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voted against Chavez-DeRemer. According to an analysis by Wake Up To Politics' Gabe Fleisher, these votes account for a third of the 21 votes cast by senators against Cabinet nominations from a new president of their own party since 1989.[1]

One of Trump's Cabinet nominees was supported by all 47 Democratic senators and independent senators who caucus with Democrats: Marco Rubio for secretary of state. Six nominees received no supporting votes from any Democratic senators or independent senators who caucus with Democrats: Hegseth, Russell Vought for director of the Office of Management and Budget, Gabbard, Kennedy, Howard Lutnick for secretary of commerce, and Linda McMahon for secretary of education.
