The Senate on Monday confirmed former GOP Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer to serve as President Donald Trump’s labor secretary, with Chavez-DeRemer becoming the final nominee to take their place in Trump’s cabinet.
But even with broad support from Democrats in the final 67-32 vote, the road to confirmation was anything but smooth.
As the first weeks of the Trump administration flew by, Chavez-DeRemer’s support among Democrats seemed to disappear, even as she solidified her status as arguably the most moderate Republican in Trump’s Cabinet.
