Senate Confirms Final Cabinet Secretary for Trump Administration

The Senate confirmed Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Labor Secretary on Monday, completing President Donald Trump's Cabinet with a bipartisan 67-32 vote. This rapid confirmation process, which took less than two months, is noted for its speed compared to previous administrations. Although Chavez-DeRemer received significant support from Democrats and some Republicans, three GOP senators, including Mitch McConnell, opposed her nomination due to her past support for pro-union policies. McConnell expressed concerns that her history suggests a continuation of union-friendly policies detrimental to workers. Supporters, including Sen. Bill Cassidy, emphasized her commitment to a pro-America agenda at the Department of Labor. With all cabinet positions filled, Trump is now positioned to implement his administration's agenda efficiently.
