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.
