Rory Chavez-Dilemma, the nominee for the U.S. Department of Labor Secretary in Donald Trump's second administration, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on the 10th (local time) and will assume office as Secretary.
According to U.S. CNN and other media, the Senate approved Chavez-Dilemma's nomination in a plenary session with 67 votes in favor and 32 against.
The Senate majority is held by the Republican Party with 53 to 47 seats. Although three Republican senators voted against, the nomination passed as 17 Democratic senators voted in favor.
With Chavez-Dilemma's confirmation, all ministerial nominees of Trump's second administration have passed the confirmation vote. Expanding the scope to 'minister-level,' only Ellis Stefanik, the nominee for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, remains pending confirmation.
