Hegseth Confirmed As Defense Secretary After VP Vance Casts Tie-Breaking Vote
"Vice President J.D. Vance cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate on Friday night to confirm Pete Hegseth as President Trump's Secretary

of Defense. This marks only the second time in U.S. history that a vice president's vote was required to confirm a Cabinet official.
VP Vance cast the 51-50 tie-breaking vote to confirm Hegseth late Friday night after three Republicans, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine), and Mitch McConnell (Kentucky), joined Democrats and independents in opposing the Princeton- and Harvard-educated former combat veteran and former Fox News host."
