Evidence

The Senate confirmed Markwayne Mullin as DHS secretary in a 54-45 vote; only Rand Paul opposed it and two Democrats supported it.

This roll call implies Ron Johnson was in the Republican yes bloc backing Mullin's nomination, though the article does not name him individually.

Ron Johnson fulfilled the appointment-support promise by voting yea on Markwayne Mullin's nomination for Secretary of Homeland Security. The nomination was confirmed during Johnson's current Senate term, and Johnson's recorded yes vote is direct candidate action supporting the outcome.

For a sitting U.S. senator, supporting a Cabinet nomination is principally judged by Senate action during the confirmation process. The available evidence says Markwayne Mullin was confirmed as DHS secretary on March 23, 2026, with only one Republican voting no, which strongly indicates Ron Johnson was part of the Republican yes bloc and therefore supported the nomination. Because the promise was to support the nomination, not to single-handedly secure confirmation, that Senate support is sufficient to count as fulfilled in the same term.
