The US Minister of Defense Pete Hegseth, nominated by Donald Trump, was confirmed by the Senate on Friday evening that he had faced improper behavior and almost caused his nomination failure.

After the three Republican senators, including the former Senate leader Mickey McConal, voted against the vote, the deputy president JD Wans voted for a decisive vote for Higsez.

At Hergus's confirmation hearing, he faced multiple problems Sexual assault allegationsAnd discharge and alcoholism, he denied it.

The predecessor, the former Fox News TV host will be responsible for managing a department with a budget with approximately 3 million employees and $ 849 billion (695 billion pounds).

4 Republicans need to join the ranks of 47 Democratic and Independent Senators. Voting to oppose the nomination of Hergses, and his nomination can be defeated.

The unexpected voting of McConal caught the Senate in a deadlock of 50 to 50, and then Wanz arrived in the final game.

McConal issued a distressing statement when explaining his vote, saying that Hergus was not ready to lead a huge department with 3 million people, and also managed huge budgets and coordinated with global allies.

McConnell said that the role of Minister of Defense "is the test of daily, causing amazing consequences to the security of the American people." "So far, Mr. Hergus has not proved that he can pass this test."

By confirming that Hergusseus, Wans became the second vice president of the United States history to confirm the Cabinet nominee. Trump's former vice president Mike Pence voted for a decisive vote in 2017, confirming that Betsy Devos served as the Minister of Education and became the first vice president.

"Combat, lethal, elite management, standards and combat reserve. That's it. This is my job," Hergus said at a confirmation hearing earlier this month.

Democratic Senators questioned the qualifications of veterans, Hergles, one of the largest institutions in the United States.

44 -year -old Hergus was a veteran who participated in the Afghanistan and Iraqi war and later worked in Fox. He has almost no traditional experience required for the position of national security cabinet -this position is usually held by senior civil servants, experienced politicians, generals and senior management.

At the hearing, Hergus was also asked, especially when asked by female senators to say that he had previously said that women should not play a fighting role. He responded that he didn't care about women in battle, but to maintain certain standards in the U.S. military.

His confirmation process was covered with shadows due to improper behavior. He was accused of sexual assault on a hotel room in Montrea, California in 2017. He repeatedly denied this allegations.

The newly appointed Minister of Defense also faces excessive drinking (including in work activities) and allegations of unfaithful allegations in the first two marriages.

"I'm not a perfect person, but the redemption is real," he said at the hearing.

Earlier this week, his former sister -in -law submitted an oath testimony to the Congress, alleging him alcoholism and abuse his spouse. Hergus's lawyer denied these allegations.

But many Republicans, including Trump, still maintain their support for Hergsen.

For the Republican Senator Lisa Mercoski, a Republican Senator Alaska who voted on Friday, past allegations have affected their voting.

In a statement issued a few days before the vote, she said that his past behavior "indicates the lack of judgment, which is inappropriate for those who lead us for the armed forces."

At the same time, another Republican Senator Susan Collins, who voted against Hergses, said she was "worried that he would not successfully complete the experience and perspective required for this work."
