GOP senators downplay Puzder doomsday reports

Published



Senate Republicans pushed back against reports Monday that Secretary of Labor nominee Andy Puzder’s nomination could be in jeopardy amid reports that four Republicans are holding out their support ahead of his hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Thursday.

Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Ala., Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and Tim Scott, R-S.C., remain non-committal and are withholding their support until after Thursday’s hearing.
