Julie Su’s nomination, which will go before a Senate panel next week, has faced fierce opposition from the business community. If one more Democrat votes against her, or even misses the vote, there would not be enough support for her to be confirmed.
The business community, including the International Franchise Association, has lobbied against her, saying her policies have hurt small businesses and franchises.It’s also unclear whether Su would obtain the support of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema , according to labor groups and other Democratic senators who back Su. Sinema has not said how she would vote and her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A former Biden administration official said that Manchin’s hesitation on Su’s nomination probably had more to do with appealing to constituents in West Virginia than any specific qualm on how she would lead. “We worked together collectively as a team. Everything we did, we did jointly,” former labor secretary Walsh told The Washington Post of Su. “Julie is more qualified than I was because of her previous role. I support her wholeheartedly.”
