(NEW YORK POST) – Pete Hegseth, an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran and former Fox News host who promised to “return the Pentagon to the warfighters,” was confirmed as President Trump’s defense secretary in a dramatic Friday night Senate vote.

The Senate voted 51-50 making Hegseth, 44, the leader of the nation’s armed forces, with three Republicans – Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky – joining all 47 Democrats to oppose the appointment.

JD Vance was forced to become only the second vice president in US history to cast a tie-breaking vote for a cabinet official. Former Vice President Mike Pence helped confirm Education Secretary Betsy Devos by offering the final vote in 2017.
