The Senate approved the appointment of Keith Sonderling as the new labor secretary late Wednesday night. This decision took place just before senators were scheduled to recess and focus on campaigning for the upcoming November 3 midterm elections.
Prior to his confirmation, Sonderling served as the acting labor secretary. He stepped into the role after Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the previous secretary, resigned in April. President Donald Trump nominated Sonderling following multiple high-profile departures within his Cabinet throughout the year.
This confirmation adds a new member to Trump’s administration, aiming to maintain stability in the labor department amid ongoing transitions.
