This article discusses the current situation in the Senate regarding President Joe Biden's nomination of Julie Su to serve as Secretary of Labor. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has announced his opposition to Su, likely dooming her chances of confirmation in the narrowly divided Senate. Under a 1946 law, amended in 1986, Su is permitted to continue to run the department without being confirmed, leaving the Democrats to decide how to move forward in order to ensure the Department of Labor is led by an experienced and qualified leader.
