WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House announced Monday that President Joe Biden has renominated Julie Su to serve as labor secretary as her confirmation has languished in the Senate for more than 10 months.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., applauded Biden for sticking with Su and argued she's more than proved her acumen since taking on the job in the acting role and earlier as deputy labor secretary earlier in the Democratic administration.
