Trump: Acting homeland security secretary will lead agency

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he will nominate acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf to the top spot in the agency, rewarding a forceful advocate for administration policy whose leadership has been challenged on legal grounds.

The president made the announcement on Twitter. He praised Wolf’s management of an agency that plays a major role in the Trump administration’s policies on immigration and crime, which critics say detracts from the core DHS mission of protecting the nation from external threats.

“I am pleased to inform the American Public that Acting Secretary Chad Wolf will be nominated to be the Secretary of Homeland Security,” Trump tweeted. “Chad has done an outstanding job and we greatly appreciate his service!”

Wolf’s prospects for Senate confirmation are unclear. There is a narrow window for him to be confirmed before the Nov. 3 election, with the Senate away until Labor Day and then scheduled to recess in mid-October.

1. Prospects unclear? Won't it take 5 minutes for the senate to confirm him?

Or will they try to look like they care prior to the election?

Wasn’t there an earlier thread that pointed out something sketchy about this?
