Alexander Acosta, President Trump’s nominee to run the Labor Department, is unlikely to get a floor confirmation vote next week when the Senate reconvenes, Republican sources speaking anonymously indicate. The first week in May likely would be the earliest it will be scheduled, assuming it isn’t delayed again.

Getting someone to run the Labor Department has been a vexing problem for Trump, who saw his first pick for the post, fast-food businessman Andy Puzder withdraw his bid in February. Acosta, dean of Florida International University Law and a former assistant attorney general for civil rights during President George W. Bush’s administration, was tapped shortly afterward to replace him.
