WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump planned a news conference Thursday to announce his nominee for labor secretary — “a star, great person,” in his words.
Trump’s first pick for the job, fast food chain executive Andy Puzder, withdrew from consideration after it was revealed he employed a housekeeper who wasn’t authorized to work in the U.S.
Trump has blamed Senate Democrats for stalling or complicating the confirmation process of several of his Cabinet nominees.
