A Senate committee voted Thursday to advance the nomination of President Donald Trump's choice to head the Department of Labor. The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions voted 13-9 to recommend Lori Chavez-DeRemer's confirmation by the full Senate.
Chavez-DeRemer, a former Republican congresswoman from Oregon, is seen as relatively pro-labor. However, some Democratic senators have expressed opposition to all of Trump's remaining Cabinet picks in response to the administration's efforts to reshape the U.S. government.
