Pence breaks US Senate tie to0 confirm DeVos as secretary of education
Washington
Washington - Arab Today
The US Senate confirmed billionaire heiress Betsy DeVos as the next secretary of education Tuesday, after Vice President Mike Pence was forced to break a tie on the deeply controversial nomination.
The chamber deadlocked at 50-50, with two Republican senators breaking ranks to oppose DeVos, a champion of using taxpayer monies to help fund privately run schools.
"The Senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative, and the nomination is confirmed," Pence said.
