A full-court press is on for the labor nominee as confirmation remains in doubt.
Julie Su’s nomination to replace Marty Walsh as Labor secretary has hung in limbo for weeks, with several moderate Democrats keeping quiet about whether they would back her. | Alex Wong/Getty ImagesThe Biden White House is ramping up its pressure on Senate Democrats to confirm Labor nominee Julie Su and deploying some big guns to get her nomination over the line.
In addition to his calls to senators, Zients has also coordinated with the labor unions who have strongly backed the nomination. The administration officials argue Su is highly qualified and from the same mold as Walsh. They’ve also pointed out her background as the daughter of Chinese immigrants. “We have a great policy agenda, and we have a great agenda moving forward, and she’s going to continue the work that we’ve done for the last two years,” he said.“It’s disappointing because Julie is a good person, and she’ll make a great secretary. I took the job as the mayor of Boston. Julie is far better prepared for this job than I was,” he said, citing her experience in California’s labor agency and in the federal government.
