The four Republicans voted against Hegseth 47 Senatars would have to join Democrats and Independents to defeat his appointment.
McConnell’s unexpected vote left the Senate in a 50-50 lock before reaching the Vance a draw.
By explaining his vote, McConnell made a bruised statement by saying that Hegseth was not prepared to correct a wide range of three million people, while managing a large budget and coordinated with global ally.
The role of the defense secretary “is a daily test that has terrible effects of the American people,” McConnell said. “Mr. Hegseth has not yet been proven to pass this test.”
When confirming Hegseth, the Vance is only converting the second vice president of the U.S. history that breaks the drawer for confirmation. The previous vice-president of Trumpen, Mike Pence, was the first when he gave a decisive vote for confirming as Secretary of Education, 2017.
“War fighting, mortality, meritocracy, standards and readiness. That’s my job,” said Hogseth at the early confirmation of this month.
Senator Democrat asked Hegseth, the veteran military, asked about his skills to correct one of the largest national agencies.

The newly confirmed defense secretary also suffered excessive drinking allegations, including working events, and infidelity in its previous two weddings.

This week, his former brother-in-law was accused of alcohol and spouses abuse in the sworn statement of a conference committee. The lawyer’s lawyers refused to be the accusations.
But many Republicans, including Trump, hold Hegseth.
Lisa Murkowski for the Senator Alaska, who voted against the confirmation on Friday, the allegations of the past helped change vote.
A few days before the vote, his past behavior “shows a lack of judgment that would direct our past forces.”
On the other hand, Susan Collins Main Senators voted against Hegseth, because he said, “he was worried that he does not have the necessary experience and vision for success.”
