But without a third Republican to join their ranks, Ms. Devos was ultimately confirmed on a 51-to-50 vote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was the first time a vice president \u2014 in this case, Vice President Mike Pence \u2014 had been summoned to the Capitol to break a tie on a cabinet nomination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Friday, Pete Hegseth became the second person to be confirmed to a cabinet secretary post when Vice President JD Vance cast the deciding vote, ensuring he will be the next defense secretary. Ms. Murkowski and Ms. Collins also voted against him, along with Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Democrats argued that allegations of sexual
