President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Keith Sonderling, currently serving as the acting Labor Secretary, to permanently fill the role. The nomination was made on Monday via a post on Truth Social.
According to multiple reports, including those from Fox News and the Washington Examiner, Trump touted Sonderling’s experience during both his first and second terms in office. The announcement comes approximately two months after Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned from the position amid allegations of abuse of power, as reported by The Independent.
The Hill reported that President Trump stated, “It is my Great Honor to announce that I am nominating Keith E. Sonderling, the outstanding Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor.” Newsmax also conveyed this announcement, noting it was made on Truth Social.
Fox News Politics and the Washington Examiner both detailed that Sonderling’s confirmation requires Senate approval. The Washington Times specified that Sonderling is currently serving as the agency's acting director.
No left-leaning sources reported additional details beyond the basic nomination announcement. No right-leaning sources reported on any controversies surrounding Sonderling's appointment or potential challenges to his confirmation.
The position of Labor Secretary remains subject to Senate confirmation, and the timeline for a vote is currently unclear.
