Paul targets mid-March for Mullin's DHS confirmation hearing
Senate Republicans are aiming to hold a March 18 confirmation hearing for Sen. Markwayne Mullin to lead the Department of Homeland Security, with Rand Paul saying the date depends on paperwork as GOP leaders rush to tee up a quick floor vote; Mullin has at least some Democratic support, while Trump pushes a major elections bill (SAVE America Act) and lawmakers weigh tactics like a “talking filibuster” to push it past obstacles.
