By Diyar Guldogan
WASHINGTON (AA) - US Vice President JD Vance broke a 50-50 tie on Friday to confirm Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense.
Senate Republicans Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins voted against Hegseth., a former Fox News host and military veteran.
It was the second time in US history that a vice president broke a tie on a cabinet appointment.
Previously, the only vice president to break a tie on a Cabinet confirmation vote was Mike Pence in 2017 on Betsy DeVos to be secretary of education.
