Julie Su's Nomination for Labor Secretary Faces Republican Opposition.

The confirmation of President Joe Biden's pick for labor secretary, Julie Su, is facing opposition from moderate Democrats and independent senators, leaving the position that oversees jobs and employment in limbo. Su's nomination has not come to the Senate floor for a vote, and several moderate Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are balking at voting for her. Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is viewed as a potential swing voter. Su would be the first Asian American to hold a Cabinet secretary position in the Biden administration if she is confirmed.
