A coalition of businesses, freelancers, tipped workers, and franchisees working together to oppose Julie Su, President Biden’s nominee for Secretary of Labor.
Why has President Biden placed Julie Su in the Presidential line of succession, despite her nomination being rejected by the Senate on a bipartisan basis? Su is an unconfirmed, acting Labor Secretary who lost over $32 billion to fraud during her time in the California government. Workers deserve a Senate-confirmed Labor Secretary who acts in their interests. https://t.co/f2mmBUanrA
"President Biden has displayed a shameful disregard for congressional intent throughout every step of Julie Su's failed nomination."

This is a shameful attempt by President Biden to bulldoze past congressional intent. To place Su, who can't even win enough votes to lead the Labor Department, in the presidential line of succession is an absurd and unconstitutional abuse of power.

Though it is publicly encouraging senators to support the nomination, the Biden administration has determined that Su doesn’t currently have enough votes to be confirmed in the Senate. The president plans to keep her in the role as acting secretary.

President Joe Biden has reportedly decided to keep Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su as “acting” secretary despite the fact that she cannot manage to get through the Senate to get the job for real.
@RepKiley is spot-on: Julie Su is facing bipartisan opposition. Continuing to serve as Acting Secretary is not a solution. It's time for President Biden to withdraw Su's nomination.

It is clear Julie Su lacks the votes for Senate confirmation. She faces bipartisan opposition.
The plan seems to be to cancel the vote and carry on with Su serving as Labor Secretary in an acting role in a blatant end run around the Constitution.
My latest for @townhallcom covers news many have no doubt been watching for: Joe Manchin is officially opposed to Julie Su's nomination as Secretary of Labor. Included in highlighting at length the opposition to Su is a statement from @StandAgainstSu. https://t.co/9Y0oepBEqn
"Although Su’s nomination was approved by Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee in April, her nomination has been strongly opposed by Republicans and is being held up by several Democrats who will not voice their support for her."

For perspective, the EDD, under Su, lost about $40 billion to fraud and other improper payments while the federal pandemic debt created was about half that number.

"Su’s push to take the crushing, pro-union strictures of AB-5 nationally is an important issue, but a significant part of the opposition to Su has been based on her preternatural incompetence and sleazy obfuscation in regards to the EDD fraud."
https://t.co/UT01QzaUp5
Julie Su should not be allowed to fail upward. No senator who respects hard-working Americans could possibly support Julie Su’s nomination as U.S. labor secretary.
https://t.co/EqD10Olnab
The reason for the reluctance to vote to install Su as labor secretary is obvious: Her radically pro-union tenure as CA labor secretary dried up opportunities for freelance employees in the state while letting fraud and abuse run rampant.

Almost four months after the White House rolled out Julie Su’s nomination in February, Democratic leadership is not shaking up their strategy, even as they’ve made little progress getting her across the finish line.
https://t.co/GE8UFO82rp
"As an opponent of small businesses, freelancers, and franchisers, Su has demonstrated a bias against the nation’s entrepreneurs."
#AB5 destroyed tens of thousands of California jobs and Julie Su supports enacting the same policy nationwide.

33 Republican senators are calling on President Biden to withdraw his nomination of Julie Su for Labor Secretary, according to a letter obtained by Axios.
