The confirmation hearing for President Trump’s second Secretary of Labor nominee, Alex Acosta, has been set for March 15.
Acosta was nominated after President Trump’s initial nominee, Andrew Puzder withdrew from consideration following growing controversy.
While nothing prevents Acosta’s confirmation hearing from being postponed, as Puzder’s was several times before his eventual withdrawal, there does not seem to be a present reason for a continuation.
Confirmation of the Secretary of Labor will allow other appointments, such as the head of the OFCCP, to move forward.
