Controversy Surrounds Biden's Labor Secretary Nominee Su
President Biden's nominee for labor secretary, Julie Su, faces uncertainty in her Senate confirmation due to some moderate Democrats not publicly stating their support for her. Su, a civil rights attorney and current deputy labor secretary, has faced opposition from business groups critical of her record leading California's labor department. Democratic senators Joe Manchin, Jon Tester, Mark Kelly, and Kyrsten Sinema have not confirmed their votes for her confirmation. Su would be the first Asian American in the Biden administration to serve in the Cabinet at the secretary level.
