NEW: Trump’s Final Nominee Is Confirmed By The Senate

After seven fervent weeks in the White House, President Donald Trump has finally rounded out his cabinet.

The Republican’s final nominee was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in a bipartisan vote on Monday, illustrating how popular some of his signature domestic policies have become among Americans. Lori Chavez-DeRemer was confirmed as U.S. Secretary of Labor on a 67-32 vote, with 17 Democrats voting to install her.

The former GOP congresswoman’s nomination was not without intra-party road bumps. Three Republican senators — Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Ted Budd (R-NC) — voted against Chavez-DeRemer, citing her past support for U.S. House legislation strengthening protections for union workers.

“I’m deeply honored to be confirmed as the 30th [U.S. Department of Labor Secretary under President @realDonaldTrump. As promised, I’ll work tirelessly to put American Workers First by fighting for good-paying jobs, safe working conditions, and secure retirement benefits,” she said in a statement on social media following the vote.

Before being tapped by Trump, Chavez-DeRemer represented Oregon’s 5th Congressional District for one term. She was the only Republican co-sponsor and just one of three Republicans to vote for the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act), though she partially walked back her past endorsement during her confirmation hearings.

Regardless, her nomination was received warmly by Teamsters president Sean O’Brien, the union organizer who spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention and courted President Trump before announcing that the Teamsters would refrain from endorsing any candidate for president, a first in the modern era where Democrats largely expected to keep unions in their corner.

“As the daughter of a Teamster, Lori Chavez-DeRemer knows the importance of carrying a union card and what it means to grow up in a middle-class household,” the union leader said last month, according to the Western Journal. “Working people need someone with her experience leading the agency that is tasked with protecting workers, creating good union jobs, and rebuilding our nation’s middle class.”

Sen. McConnell, who was recently the target of a vicious attack by President Trump, spoke out against Chavez-DeRemer’s nomination on the Senate floor before the vote.

“The American people demand and deserve change after four years of economic heartache under the ‘most pro-union administration in American history,’” McConnell said. “Unfortunately, Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s record pushing policies that force hardworking Americans into union membership suggests more of the same.”

Chavez-DeRemer’s confirmation completes President Trump’s cabinet, and she is the last among all nominees to be confirmed with the exception of Matt Gaetz, the president’s initial pick for U.S. attorney general. The cabinet met in person for the first time last week and mostly listened as Elon Musk impressed on members the importance of working with the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency to root out waste, fraud, and abuse as they begin to implement the Trump administration’s agenda.
