As our editor Bob Hoge reported, the Senate confirmed Lori Chavez-DeRemer, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Labor on a 67-32 vote. Seventeen Democrats folded like cheap suits when they saw someone who could gum up the workings of President Trump’s America First agenda even further, as I asserted in the article Labor Nominee Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s Confirmation Hearing Showed the Uniparty Falling in Line. If the Democrats were truly interested in “resisting,” and rejected Trump’s secretary of labor nominee as they have his previous ones, then the three NO votes from Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY), Ted Budd (R-NC), and surprisingly, Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would have put the nomination in jeopardy and forced Vice President JD Vance to break the tie.
Props to @RandPaul, @SenMcConnell, and @SenTedBuddNC for demanding better for workers.
And thank you to…
