00:00In a dramatic turn on Capitol Hill, Democratic Senator John Fetterman broke ranks with his party
00:05to save Mark Wayne Mullen's nomination to lead the Department of Homeland Security.
00:09Fetterman's yes tipped the scales in favor of Mullen's bid to head one of the government's
00:14most powerful agencies. Critics slammed Fetterman's decision, saying it handed a win to a controversial
00:19pick. Supporters argued he followed his conscience in a tough moment. Republican Rand Paul, the chair
00:25of the Homeland Security Committee, made no secret of his dislike for Mullen. He voted no. Now,
00:31Mullen's nomination will head to the full Senate early next week, and he's expected to be confirmed.
