Biden's labor secretary nominee faces doubts in Senate

President Joe Biden’s nominee to be the next labor secretary, Julie Su, is testifying to the Senate. But key Democrats are unwilling to voice support for her confirmation. It creates uncertainty about her prospects in the narrowly divided Senate. A handful of Democrats have not publicly stated whether they will vote for Su’s nomination ahead of her confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. She has gotten complaints from business groups. Biden in February picked Su to replace Marty Walsh, the former mayor of Boston, to lead the Department of Labor. Su is a civil rights attorney and the current deputy labor secretary.
