NBC News: Labor Secretary nominee Andy Puzder is expected to withdraw, sources tell @PeterAlexander

— Bradd Jaffy (@BraddJaffy) February 15, 2017

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee was scheduled to consider his nomination in a hearing that had previously been delayed five times.
 
Top GOP members reportedly urged the White House to withdraw Puzder’s nomination, according to CNN.
 
Puzder, the CEO of the fast-food conglomerate that owns the burger chains Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr., has been under attack by Democrats and outside groups for weeks for admitting he hired an illegal immigrant as a housekeeper and allegations that he abused his ex-wife and treated employees poorly.

That should be the last scalp for the Democrats. IMO, the wound was self-inflicted, due to hiring an illegal immigrant.

Even if Puzder did not withdraw, it is likely that he would not pass the Senate.

From CNN

Top Senate Republicans have urged the White House to withdraw the Andrew Puzder nomination for labor secretary, a senior GOP source said, adding there are four firm Republican no votes and possibly up to 12.
 
Puzder needs at least 50 votes to pass with the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Mike Pence, and Republicans only hold control of 52 seats.
 
Puzder, the CEO of the company that owns the Hardee's and Carl's Jr. fast food chains, has faced fierce opposition mostly from Democrats in part related to his position on labor issues as well as the fact that he employed an undocumented housekeeper.

Inadequate Vetting = No WINNING!

You mean to tell me that little problem didn't arise with the transition team?

"Pretty poor job of vetting."

You would think that Trump of all people would be a master at "extreme vetting". If he can't even properly vet his own nominees I don't hold out much hope he'll do any better with immigrants.
