  The VICE PRESIDENT. Are there any Senators in the Chamber who wish to 
vote or change a vote?
  If not, on this vote, the yeas are 50, the nays are 50. The Senate 
being equally divided, the Vice President votes in the affirmative.
  The nomination is confirmed.
  (Applause.)
  The majority leader.
  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that with respect 
to the Hegseth nomination, the motion to reconsider be considered made 
and laid upon the table and the President be immediately notified of 
the Senate's action; further, that the mandatory quorum call with 
respect to the Noem nomination be waived.
  The VICE PRESIDENT. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
