U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, who was considered by the Trump administration as a contender for Homeland Security director, is now “high on the list” to replace John Kelly, MyStatesman.com reports.
McCaul, 55, who is a seven-term Republican from Texas and a former prosecutor, declined to comment when asked about the position.
But U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told the Statesman, “I think he’s talking to the White House. … He’s a good man. We go way back. I have a lot of confidence in him.”
But McCaul has some critics. Some conservatives, including Breitbart, don’t believe McCaul is tough enough on immigration.
