Senators’ votes are evenly divided: 50 for and 50 battles. The decision was made only after the participation of the vice president, which was also formally considered the Senate leader.

The High House of Congress finally approved the US Congress on Friday, February 24, the candidate of former Fox TV channel host Pete Hagsetth for the United States Defense Secretary’s position, reports The Hill.

Senators can be seen to have had the Vice President of the United States in the vote, as the number of senators voted “for” and “against”.

“As a result of this vote, 50 favor, 50 opposed, the Senate is divided equally. The vice president voted yes, and the nomination confirmed,” Vice President JD Vance, who is also formally considered headed by the High House of the US Congress.

Pete Hagsetth’s candidacy is not supported by three Republican senators: Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and former Republican leader Mitch McConnell.

Prior to the main vote, Democrats opposed the nomination throughout Friday, citing professionals who did not qualify Hagsetth as well as his misconduct and attacks against him.

Earlier, Trump nominated American TV presenter and former military Pete Hagsetth to lead the Pentagon. It is learned that the 44-year-old TV presenter has served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has been working for the Fox News Channel for the past 8 years.

After that, the media wrote about politicians’ concerns about this appointment. They are skeptical of Peter Hagsetth’s ability to lead the US Department of Defense.
