Worst confirmation I ever seen

Headline in today's N.Y. Times:

'Pete Hegseth Is Sworn In as Defense Secretary After Being Confirmed by Slim Margin'

What's going on here? I thought he had to be confirmed by the Senate. Who is Slim Margin? One of Trump's lackeys? He hasn't been in office a week and he changes the process of how Cabinet positions are chosen?  Unbelievable.

 

I'd like to know who this Slim Margin is. Are they related to Large Margin, who you may remember from Pee Wee's Big Adventure?

 

Hold on, that wasn't Large Margin, that was Large Marge. What's wrong with me? I feel like I've been hit on the head by a garbage truck dropped off the Empire State Building!
