Kamala Harris refuses to call Julie Su ‘acting’ labor secretary
August 9, 2023 // Harris made the comment when introducing President Joe Biden's nominee for the position at a speech in Philadelphia Union Hall. Su's confirmation has been on hold for 147 days as the White House attempts to gather enough votes in the Senate. Harris introduced “acting Secretary Julie Su” to applause before pausing and adjusting the title. “And I just have to tell you — I’ll call her labor secretary. I’m not going to say the word ‘acting,’” she said.
