The Senate voted to end debate on the nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel as U.S. Secretary of Defense on Tuesday, ultimately paving the way for his confirmation. The cloture vote to end the GOP filibuster succeeded by a margin of 71 – 27, with numerous Republicans changing their votes from initial opposition just a few weeks ago.
The final confirmation vote is expected at 4:30pm ET later today.
