Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su vows to remain in job even as confirmation prospects remain dim — "The Takeout"

Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su is still waiting to be confirmed as labor secretary over a year after President Joe Biden first nominated her, and she remains hopeful that she'll be confirmed, despite opposition that shows no sign of softening.

On "The Takeout" podcast this week, Su told chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett she has no plans to withdraw and remains "really honored by his support."

"When I went through the nomination, the confirmation process, I met with a lot of senators and … I have great respect for the process, for their role." She added, "We'll continue to remain hopeful while also remaining focused on the job that needs to be done."
