Trump nominates Lori Chavez-DeRemer to lead Labor Department

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated U.S. Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer to lead the Labor Department. Chavez-DeRemer, a Republican from Oregon, recently lost her reelection bid but has strong support from union members in her district. As Labor Secretary, Chavez-DeRemer would manage the department's workforce and budget. She would also address issues affecting workers' wages, health, safety, and union rights, as well as employers' rights. Trump highlighted Chavez-DeRemer's backing from both business and labor groups, suggesting it would help unify Americans under his agenda for national success.
