Rand Paul Says He'll Vote Against Trump's Labor Secretary Nominee Because 'She's Very Pro Labor'
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) announced on Monday that he would vote against President Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of labor, Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
The senator told Fox News Radio correspondent Ryan Schmelz and NBC News senior political reporter Sahil Kapur he would vote “no” on Chavez-DeRemer’s confirmation and suggested that the decision came down to her “very pro labor” views.
“I think she’ll lose 15 Republicans and she’ll get 25 Democrats,” he told Schmelz. “I mean, she’s very pro labor. She might get all the Democrats. Who knows.”
Trump nominated Chavez-DeRemer as his secretary of labor in November, championing her record in support of American workers.
