Trump Fires Noem; Can Trump Pick Iran’s New Leader? Chris’ Big Announcement | CUOMO Full Show 3/5

Chris Cuomo begins with the news that President Trump fired Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary after a series of incidents that reportedly doomed her tenure. He also questions President Trump’s decision to name Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin as her replacement. Democratic Rep. James Walkinshaw of Virginia, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, and Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia, a close ally of Mullin, discuss the firing and her replacement. The lawmakers also go inside the failed House vote to pass a war powers resolution to limit Trump’s ability to extend this war and explain why they voted against a bill that would have made public sexual misconduct allegations against members of Congress. The Trump administration has said the war in Iran is not about regime change. However, the president told Axios on Thursday that Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — who is widely believed to be the successor to his late father as head of Iran — is “a lightweight” and “unacceptable” to him. Trump also asserted himself as an arbiter, saying he would “have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy (Rodriguez) in Venezuela.” Is that regime change by another name, and what does it mean for the mission in Iran? Retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. John Teichert and the CIA’s former station chief in Venezuela, Rick De La Torre, discuss. The war in Iran is already having an impact on American politics, with strong disagreement among MAGA faithful and the GOP’s “America First” wing. What will the conflict’s impact be on the primary season and the midterm elections? Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet and Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha debate. The search for Nancy Guthrie is in its second month, and all reported leads appear to have hit dead ends. So, is this about to become a cold case? NewsNation senior correspondent Brian Entin and former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discuss the case and where the investigation could head next. Then, Chris Cuomo ends the hour with a big announcement.
