From Fox News: Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has indicated that he will not support confirmation of President Donald Trump’s Labor secretary nominee, former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
The senator said he thinks that Chavez-DeRemer will “lose 15 Republicans,” but “get 25 Democrats.”
“She might get all the Democrats. Who knows?” he added.
In a statement announcing Chavez-DeRemer as his pick for the Cabinet post last year, Trump declared, “Lori has worked tirelessly with both Business and Labor to build America’s workforce, and support the hardworking men and women of America.”
Commenting on the report, Sen. Paul then wrote on X, “I’m the national spokesman and lead author of the right-to-work bill. Her support for the PRO Act, which would not only oppose national right to work but would pre-empt state law on right to work — I think it’s not a good thing.”
