Senate confirms Keith Sonderling as labor secretary
The Senate confirmed Keith Sonderling to lead the Department of Labor on Wednesday, officially installing the nominee who has been leading in an acting capacity since Lori Chavez-DeRemer's exit in April.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the Senate confirmation of Keith Sonderling as the new Labor Department chief, and both note that he had been serving in an acting role before the vote. The Hill adds the Senate tally, 47-41, and says all Republicans present voted yes while all Democrats voted no. CBS News alone mentions that Sonderling had been leading in an acting capacity since Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s exit in April.
