Pete had the votes with VP Vance voting. Turtle changed his vote to yes so now Pete is cleared without VP Vance having to vote.

quote:

MacCallum then brought in Capitol Hill reporter Aishah Hasnie for further details.”Hey, Martha. Well, this is a big deal for Pete Hegseth that the defense secretary nominee, because this means that he may have the 51 votes that he needs for final confirmation without the help of Vice President JD Vance,” Hasnie began, adding:

And that’s because Mitch McConnell came forward today and voted yes on cloture. This is overcoming the filibuster. To get to that final confirmation, two senators that we expected to vote no voted no on cloture, and that was Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.

That Testudine POS better fall in line.

Murkowski and Collins are such low grade losers.

He should be sworn in by today, this evening.

Now the dems will slow walk Tulsi, Kash Patel, and RFK Jr.

This was just the vote on whether or not to take a vote, correct?

Mitch could still vote not to confirm like a bitch

That’s fine, you force Congress to recess and then appoint as Dems scream and no one cares

Only problem with recess is it gives rinos cover to hide

Yes, the vote on whether to vote--- is really the vote, correct

I read somewhere Pete should be cleared by today.

Anyone know when he will be sworn in?

JD should hang around the chamber, just in case someone else gets cold feet.

VP Vance better be on stand by and not leave the swamp. I don't trust these corrupt Aholes.
