The U.S. Senate has returned more than 50 nominations to President Joe Biden as it concluded its activities for the year. Among the most notable of these is the nomination of Julie Su, the acting Labor Secretary, which has been characterized by some as an embarrassment for the Biden administration. The White House has indicated that Su, described as Biden's far left nominee, will be renominated in 2024, despite claims that she will never be confirmed. Senator Bob Menendez played a significant role in the return of nominations by blocking two confirmations before the Senate went into holiday recess, reportedly due to frustrations with border negotiations.
