Republicans have a 12-11 vote majority on the panel.<\/p>\n<p>Chavez-DeRemer could in theory pick up support from Democrats for her pro-union stances, but few if any now seem willing to back Mr. Trump&#8217;s nominees over his overhaul of the executive branch and firings of federal workers.<\/p>\n<p>So far, Mr. Trump&#8217;s Cabinet nominees have been confirmed with minimal GOP defections. Three Republicans voted against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was confirmed after Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. Republicans have otherwise united behind Mr. Trump&#8217;s picks, with the exception of Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who voted against three nominees as of last week.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump nominated the Chavez-DeRemer, an Oregon Republican, as labor secretary after she lost her reelection bid in November. She served one two-year term in Congress, becoming the first Republican woman elected to Congress in Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/caitlin-yilek\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Caitlin Yilek<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Caitlin Yilek is a politics reporter at CBSNews.com, based in Washington, D.C.
