Biden to Renominate Labor Secretary Nominee Julie Su After Senate Fails to Confirm
-
Acting labor secretary Julie Su's nomination was returned to the White House as the Senate ended its session, requiring Biden to renominate her.
-
Republicans opposed Su's nomination, saying she lacked the votes and was unqualified. Biden will likely renominate her.
-
Su has served the longest of any acting Cabinet-level official from the same party, 281 days without confirmation.

Senator Manchin opposed Su as too progressive and wanted someone who could forge compromises.

As California's labor secretary, Su oversaw billions in fraudulent unemployment payments and delayed COVID relief checks.
