As much as I like Kelly, he isn't the perfect candidate even if I still think he's the best one. But be prepared to hear the bad stuff because it does exist. #politics

'In 2022, Kelly joined Sinema and Manchin to hand the Biden administration a surprise defeat in the Senate on a nominee to lead the Labor Departmentβs Wage and Hour Division. The move was the first time that a Biden nominee had lost a Senate floor vote, surprising both the administration and Senate leadership.'
It seems the cited dispute had a background. The nominee had served in the same post under Obama and was known for using an interpretation of independent contractor that had been found to be outside the rules of the department and which had the effect of shifting a lot of responsibility onto potentially vulnerable small businesses. So in fairness I'll link that discussion as well. #politics
