TL;DR Summary

President Biden's nominee for labor secretary, Julie Su, has yet to secure the support of key Senate Democrats ahead of her confirmation hearing on Thursday. If she fails to secure enough support, she would be the highest-ranking Biden nominee so far to fail to be confirmed. Some Democrats, including Montana Sen. Jon Tester and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, remain non-committal on her nomination. Su has faced criticism for her lack of experience in labor negotiations and her support for a California law that reclassifies certain gig workers as regular employees. Outside groups have launched public ad campaigns both for and against her nomination.
