| Biden pick for Labor post defeated in Senate -- with three Dems opposing |
| 2022-04-01 |
| [NYPOST] President Biden’s nominee for a key position in the Labor Department was rejected by the Senate on Wednesday — with three Democrats joining all 50 Republicans to vote against the pick. The vote to advance David Weil’s nomination to head up the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division failed 53-47 as Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly of Arizona opposed the nomination. The vote to end debate on the nomination only needed a simple majority to pass. Weil, who held the same position in the B.O. regime, faced stiff opposition from Senate Republicans, who claimed he would impose overly burdensome regulations affecting small businesses and independent contractors. Business groups had also expressed vehement opposition to Weil, a dean at Brandeis University, for his belief that corporations like McDonald’s should be liable for actions by franchisees.

| #1 It seems that many in the DC Swamp (GOP & LSD) have figured out that Mid-Terms are coming. Those in risky voter positions must find a better voter base foundation for Re-election. |
