The White House says that President Joe Biden has renominated Julie Su to serve as labor secretary, whose confirmation languished in the Senate for more than 10 months
The White House announced Monday that President Joe Biden has renominated Julie Su to serve as labor secretary as her confirmation has languished in the Senate for more than 10 months.
The decision to renominate Su, who has served as acting labor secretary since Marty Walsh vacated the role last February, was widely expected.
Su’s nomination cleared a key Senate committee in April, but with no Republicans on record supporting her, the Biden administration and her backers have scrambled to lock down 50 Democratic votes needed to confirm her. Wavering senators say that she had minimal experience in negotiations between workers and management, and point to perceptions that she’s anti-business.
What’s the GOP platform look like for re-election: “we’ve done nothing at all, really”
“Biden did nothing, elect us instead (so we can make everything even worse!)”
Sadly I don’t think the GOP has come up with any good policy in nearly a decade. I think in 2020 they just photocopied their 2016 policy book, which was nothing more than to wreck healthcare even more than it’s already wrecked.
Oh yeah their 2020 platform included criticism of “the current president”
