(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota Republican Sens. John Hoeven and Cramer supported Pete Hegseth’s confirmation to be secretary of defense.
“Pete Hegseth served in combat during his time in the military and has been a strong advocate for our veterans,” Hoeven said in a statement.
Vice President J.D. Vance cast the deciding vote to break a 50-50 tie after three Republican senators — Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky — parted ways with the rest of the GOP to vote against Hegseth.
Every Democratic and independent senator also opposed Hegseth.
