On Tuesday, July 23, 2019, the Senate voted overwhelmingly (90 to 8 vote) to confirm Mark T. Esper as the permanent Defense Secretary, ending months long vacancy since Jim Mattis resigned last year over policy disagreements with President Trump. Esper had spent most of his career in the military and in government. He was sworn in on Tuesday at the White House by Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.
