Puzders Nomination In Jeopardy
Source: Political Wire
Four Republican senators have told their leadership they are withholding support for Andrew Puzder, President Trumps choice for labor secretary, setting off an intense effort by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and business groups to bring at least two back into the fold so that the nomination does not fail, CNN reports.
The four, sources say, are Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Tim Scott (R-SC) and Johnny Isakson (R-GA).

(50,546 posts)The GOP doesn't want the press and the Democrats to get the bizarre idea that they're just rubber-stamping anything Trump wants, even though that's what they're doing. Trump isn't all that concerned about the Department of Labor and Puzder's not quite extreme enough for DJT (last I checked, Eddie Lampert and Al Dunlap are still available), so knocking off Puzder seems like a safe choice.
