Lori Chavez-DeRemer Advances to Final Senate Vote for Labor Secretary

Trump's nominee secures bipartisan support to move closer to confirmation, with a final Senate vote scheduled for Monday.

The Senate voted 66-30 to end debate on Lori Chavez-DeRemer's nomination, advancing her to a final confirmation vote next week.
Fifteen Democratic senators joined Republicans in supporting Chavez-DeRemer, while Sen. Rand Paul was the only Republican to oppose her.
Chavez-DeRemer faced scrutiny over her previous support for the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act but walked back her stance during confirmation hearings.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune praised her bipartisan approach and emphasized the need for a stronger Labor Department under her leadership.
If confirmed, Chavez-DeRemer would become the 21st Trump Cabinet nominee approved by the Senate, leaving Elise Stefanik as the last pending nominee.
