The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee will vote again on Julie Su’s nomination to lead the Labor Department on Feb. 27, according to a notice, despite no indication she’s won over Democratic holdouts to prevail on the floor.

Su has been serving as acting Labor Secretary despite her stalled nomination. A Government Accountability Office report in September concluded that arrangement did not violate federal law.

The full Senate voted 50-47 to confirm her as deputy secretary in July 2021. But Su’s elevation to Labor secretary has proven far more difficult. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has publicly opposed her despite backing Su for the deputy post.

The HELP Committee previously voted to advance Su’s elevation to secretary in April 2023 on a 11-10 vote.
