Where in the world is Sonny Perdue?

Two months after President Trump selected Sonny Perdue to serve as his secretary of agriculture, the former Georgia governor has become the final Cabinet member to get a confirmation hearing on the books, raising questions about why a seemingly routine appointment has languished behind the scenes longer than any of Trump’s other picks.

Sources familiar with the situation have pointed to a variety of factors, from the timing of Perdue’s nomination to his complicated financial affairs, to a White House that has become too overwhelmed by other political battles to provide the nominee with adequate support.
