Trump’s selection of Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer is fueling anxiety among some Republicans in the Senate and business trade groups who will consider her nomination.
By Lauren Kaori Gurley and Lori Aratani, The Washington PostRep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer speaks at a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Jan. 25, 2023.
A handful of Democratic senators said they liked the moderate Republican who has embraced pro-union legislation, meaning she may secure a nomination with Democratic support. “I was a union member when I was in high school and college,” said Sen. Rick Scott said in an interview. “But I haven’t met with her yet.”
“Lori’s strong support from both the Business and Labor communities will ensure that the Labor Department can unite Americans of all backgrounds behind our Agenda for unprecedented National Success,” Trump said in a statement.
