Trump Selects Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Labor Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated outgoing Oregon U.S. Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer as U.S. Labor Secretary. Despite lacking extensive experience in big business or unions, her ties with the Teamsters Union are seen as significant, especially since the union did not support Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Chavez-DeRemer, who lost her reelection bid, will not affect the Republican majority in the House. Her nomination is viewed as a strategic move to strengthen ties with labor groups and enhance opportunities for American workers.
