71% : Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to Trump during his first administration, is also poised to take on an expanded role as homeland security advisor and White House deputy chief of staff for policy.

44% : Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and leading into the 2020 election, the agency had regular contact with social media platforms to inform them of misinformation- or disinformation-laced content, crafted or amplified by foreign adversaries or other home-grown entities.
39% : In announcing her nomination, Trump said that Noem "has been very strong on border security," citing the fact that she sent the South Dakota National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border multiple times to prevent illegal border crossings.
38% : The hacking unit, dubbed Salt Typhoon, accessed the communications of high-value political officials close to Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
