Vice
President J.D. Vance was needed to break a tie Friday night in order for the
Senate to confirm Pete Hegseth as President Donald Trump's defense secretary.
It
was the second time in U.S. history that a vice president was needed to break a
tie to confirm a Cabinet nomination. The first was in 2017 in Trump's first
administration, when Mike Pence cast the tiebreaking vote to confirm
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
"I
thought I was done voting in the senate," Vance, a former Republican
senator from Ohio, posted on X,
with a laughing emoji.
Republican
Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa
Murkowski of
Alaska voted against Hegseth, as expected, but a surprise no vote came from Sen.
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky,
forcing Vance, as president of the upper chamber, to step in with the
tiebreaking vote.
Senate
Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., reportedly opened
Friday's session saying that Hegseth, as a veteran of the U.S. Army National
Guard who served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, "will bring a warrior's
perspective" to the top military job.
