Can Trump bring unions into the GOP fold? His labor nominee presents a major test

Lori Chavez-DeRemer has been nominated by President Donald Trump for Labor Secretary, which is challenging for Senate Republicans to accept due to her non-traditional profile as a former congresswoman and small business owner.
Chavez-DeRemer's selection aims to attract union voters and reshape the GOP's stance on labor, although it has met with mixed reactions from Republican senators.
Supporters like Sean O'Brien of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters view Chavez-DeRemer as a potential bridge to organized labor, despite opposition from some in the party.
If confirmed, she will address significant workplace challenges, including union organizing, remote work, and automation in the economy.
