Trump's labor secretary pick Puzder expected to withdraw nomination

President Donald Trump's pick for labor secretary, fast food CEO Andrew Puzder, is expected to withdraw his nomination as Senate opposition mounts, according to sources.

Puzder's confirmation hearing set for Thursday is expected to be canceled after a senior GOP source told CNN that there were four firm Republican no votes in the Senate and possibly up to 12. Republicans hold 52 seats in the Senate, and at least 50 votes would be needed for Puzder's confirmation to pass with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence.

A CBS News source says Puzder is not expected to appear for his confirmation hearing, saying "I think he's very tired of the abuse." A senior administration official also confirmed the expected withdrawal to NBC News.

Puzder, the CEO of the company that owns the Hardee's and Carl's Jr. fast food chains, has faced fierce opposition, mostly from Democrats for his position on labor issues, though some Republicans said they're concerned over his failure to pay taxes for five years on a former housekeeper who wasn't authorized to work in the U.S.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer fanned the flames in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

"No matter how you cut it, there is no worse pick for Labor Secretary than Andrew Puzder, and I'm encouraged my Republican colleagues are starting to agree," the New York Democrat said. "He does not belong anywhere near the Labor Department, let alone at the head of it. Puzder's disdain for the American worker, the very people he would be responsible for protecting, is second to none."
Another one out.

Side note: Betting markets are now having bets on Trump being impeached ... only to be replaced by Satan himself :twisted:

This dude was actually friendly towards immigrants. He was a supporter of comprehensive immigration reform.

Yes he was it all boiled down to his admission of having undocumented workers

Most other big business moguls will have similar views. I am not worried. Even if he was nominated, there was no indication it would make a difference.
