John Kelly out as DHS secretary

John Kelly out as DHS secretary. He no longer work for DHS and now, he work at WH as chief-of-staff.

Who will be there? Who will be at new DHS secretary?

Let the speculation begin.

No reason to expect a pick who would have a more moderate view.

You're kind of late to this - Kelly was announced on Friday.

The DHS Secretary successor plan was put in place by the prior Admin. By moving Kelly out, the Obama-signed plan kicks in until Congress signs off on a replacement.

Elaine Duke will be acting per the EO. No doubt Trump will make a nomination, question will be if Congress will act.

She's been the big pusher for the electronics ban on flights.

Profiting from her earlier time with DHS:

After working at DHS, she worked as the principal of Elaine Duke & Associates, described in her DHS bio as an acquisition and business consulting firm.
Since taking office (2nd stint a DHS began last April), Duke has taken a lead role in many of the agency's priorities, including an effort to increase security on large electronics in carry-ons on airplanes traveling to the US.

From involvement with government procurement on the buy side to the sell side. Welcome to the revolving door between the government sector and the private sector, one where the ordinary folks are made to pay the price sooner or later. Follow those DHS/TSA purchases.
