Biden Labor Secretary Nominee Julie Su Faces Uncertain Confirmation Prospects

  • Some moderate Senate Democrats have not publicly committed to voting for Julie Su's confirmation as labor secretary.
  • Business groups have criticized Su's record as head of California's labor department and launched campaigns opposing her nomination.
  • Republican senators are also expected to grill Su over her views at her confirmation hearing.
  • Su has widespread support from labor unions, immigrant advocates and Asian American groups.
  • The narrow 51-49 Democratic Senate majority leaves little room for defections in confirmation votes.
