Kamala Harris Defends Julie Su Amid Labor Nomination Fight

Vice President Kamala Harris defended Julie Su, the nominee for Labor Secretary in the Biden administration, by intentionally omitting the word "acting" from her title during a visit to a Philadelphia union hall. Su's nomination has been pending for 147 days, and the White House decided to keep her as an acting appointee indefinitely due to the unlikely confirmation by a closely divided Senate. Republican opposition and the lack of support from key Democratic senators make it challenging for Su to secure the necessary votes. Congressional Republicans have criticized Biden for bypassing the confirmation process and have called for the withdrawal of Su's nomination.
