Julie Su advances as Biden's Labor nominee despite opposition from the Right

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee advanced Labor Secretary nominee Julie Su on a party-line vote. However, Su still needs to win over undecided Democratic holdouts in the full Senate, including Sens. Joe Manchin, Mark Kelly, Jon Tester, Kyrsten Sinema, and Angus King. Business groups are running ads against Su's nomination, while labor unions are campaigning in her favor. The International Franchise Association is warning that Su might aggressively crack down on the franchise model as Labor secretary.
