So, of course, when elected, President Joe Biden offered her a promotion. Su served as the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Labor until Marty Walsh resigned from the Department’s top spot, leaving her to act as the interim secretary. Meanwhile, her nomination for the role, brought by the White House in February, awaits confirmation in the Senate. After being passed out of committee in April, and amid a chorus of opposition voices, campaigns, and lobbying, Su’s nomination has not been brought up for a vote. > On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) brought votes on a series of nominations, including former Rep. Xochitl Torres Small’s (D-N.M.) to be deputy secretary of Agriculture, Rosie Hidalgo to be the Justice Department’s director of Violence Against Women Office, and another batch of Judicial nominees. This indicates that the earliest possible consideration of Su’s nomination would be in mid-July, assuming it is ever considered at all. > As previously reported, Republicans have been calling for her nomination to be withdrawn, with 33 penning a letter to Biden last week that read: >> Given this present state of affairs, we respectfully urge you to withdraw the nomination We appreciate your responsiveness to this request and ask for prompt confirmation that the nomination of Julie A. Su is formally withdrawn.
