Despite a revolt by two Senate Republicans, Donald Trump’s pro-school choice nominee for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, has been confirmed by the Senate — but only with Vice President Mike Pence providing the tie-breaking vote. Pence stepping in to break the 50-50 tie is the first time in American history that a sitting vice president has helped confirm a Cabinet nominee.
As the Daily Wire has highlighted, Trump’s choice of DeVos has received some of the strongest backlash among his nominations thus far. The left despises DeVos because of her pro-school choice/anti-teachers union stances, as well as her promise to follow Trump’s direction as Education Secretary.
