Julie Su brought Calif. corruption to the White House — and Harris will keep her there

Julie Su brought Calif. corruption to the White House — and Harris will keep her there

President Biden’s nonchalance about Chinese spying, hacking and election interference is a cause for national worry — and his indifference to the Chinese threat extends even to his own White House.

Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su’s catastrophic 2021 face-plant while serving as California’s labor secretary made China stronger, while making the world a more dangerous place for Americans and American ideals.

Yet Kamala Harris and her backers, including United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain, say they’d like Su to stay in her post after Jan. 20, despite the Senate’s refusal to confirm her nomination for 548 days and counting.

That makes her America’s longest-serving unconfirmed cabinet officer.

Su’s confirmation troubles stem from her time as California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s secretary of labor.
