Trump's Labor Secretary Pick Faces GOP Resistance Over Union Support

Lori Chavez-DeRemer's pro-labor stance has drawn criticism from Republicans while gaining support from Democrats and union leaders.

Former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Trump's nominee for Labor Secretary, has faced backlash from GOP senators for her support of the PRO Act and other pro-union policies.
The PRO Act, which Chavez-DeRemer previously backed, would override state right-to-work laws, a key issue of contention among Republicans.
Sen. Rand Paul and other Republicans have voiced opposition to her nomination, while some Democrats and union leaders, including Teamsters President Sean O'Brien, support her appointment.
Chavez-DeRemer may need Democratic votes to advance her nomination in the Senate HELP Committee, where her confirmation hearing is set for Wednesday.
Her nomination reflects Trump's broader strategy to appeal to union voters and reshape the GOP's traditional stance on labor issues.
