Why This Trump Nominee Has Union Support

Why This Trump Nominee Has Union Support

Trump's pick for labor secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, is an outlier: She has experience in federal government, where she was one of three House Republicans to support the “Protecting the Right to Organize Act” to expand employees’ rights to organize and collectively bargain and she was accompanied by the head of the Teamsters when she went to visit Mar A Lago after the election.

Guest: Tammy Kim, contributing writer at the New Yorker.
