Pete Hegseth Confirmation: JD Vance Casts Tie-Breaking Vote

^{Published on 2025-01-25 10:00:35 - MSN}

Donald Trump's pick for Defense Secretary, faced stiff criticism from Democrats and some Republicans
requiring a tie-breaking vote from JD Vance.

The article from MSN discusses the confirmation of Pete Hegseth to the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, where Senator J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. Hegseth, a Fox News personality and former Army officer, was confirmed despite opposition from Democrats who criticized his lack of relevant experience and his controversial media presence. The vote was split along party lines, with Vice President Kamala Harris not present to break the tie, leading to Vance stepping in. This event highlights the ongoing partisan divide in Senate confirmations, with Democrats expressing concerns over Hegseth's suitability for a role focused on national infrastructure security due to his background in media and military rather than infrastructure or cybersecurity.
