The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee has delayed the confirmation hearing of Andrew Puzder, President-elect Trump’s nominee to head the Labor Department.
Late Monday night, Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-TN, chair of the HELP Committee, and Sen. Patty Murray, D-WA, ranking member of the committee, announced that the confirmation hearing of Mr. Trump’s nomination to lead the Education Department, Betsy DeVos, has been moved to January 17th, when Puzder’s hearing was tentatively scheduled.
The delay in the hearings was requested by Senate leadership to accommodate the chamber’s schedule, according to the statement from Sens. Alexander and Murray.
