The Senate confirmed Keith Sonderling as the new labor secretary on Wednesday night. This decision came as senators were preparing to head into recess for the upcoming November 3 midterm elections.

Keith Sonderling had been serving in an acting capacity as labor secretary since April following the resignation of Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who held the position prior. President Donald Trump nominated Sonderling, marking another addition to his Cabinet in a year marked by several significant departures and replacements.

In the photo from September 18, Sonderling is shown during his tenure as acting labor secretary. His confirmation represents the latest shift in leadership within the Trump administration.
