Biden to nominate Julie Su as Labor secretary

President Joe Biden will choose Julie Su to act as Labor secretary, according to 3 individuals knowledgeable about the matter.

Su, who presently works as the deputy Labor secretary, would change Marty Walsh, who is leaving the administration for a task atop the National Hockey League Players Association.

Long thought about the front-runner for the task, Su had actually been backed by the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. She would be the very first secretary-level Asian American to serve in Biden’s Cabinet.

This is a breaking story and will be upgraded.
