Why is Joe Manchin's opposition to qualified Biden nominees so tough to defend? As stevebenen writes, part of the problem is that he supported worse Trump nominees for the same positions.
Sen. Joe Manchin III said Thursday he would oppose Julie Su’s nomination to be Labor secretary, weakening her chances of confirmation. Amid opposition from Republicans and without the Manchin’s vote, Su must shore up the support of the remaining 50 Democrats and independents who caucus with them, including Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., who have not said how they will vote.
To the extent that such details matter, Su also spent two years serving as California’s Labor secretary, and as The Los Angeles Timesin April, “Typically, an official embraced by organized labor would face chillier relationships with employers. But business leaders in California said Su was accessible and receptive.”
