华盛顿专电 参议院周三确认基思·松德林出任劳工部部长，正式任命这位自洛里·查韦斯-德雷默4月离职以来一直担任代理劳工部长的提名人选。
参议院以47票赞成、41票反对的投票结果通过了对松德林的任命。
松德林在特朗普总统第一任期内，曾在劳工部和平等就业机会委员会担任多个职务。他此前曾在佛罗里达州一家律所从事就业与劳工法律业务。
总统于6月提名松德林出任该职位，称他“已证明了自己致力于为全美辛勤工作的民众带来实实在在的成果”。松德林自4月下旬查韦斯-德雷默离职赴私营部门任职以来，一直担任代理劳工部长。
查韦斯-德雷默的离职是一系列内阁改组中的最新一起，此前几周特朗普总统解雇了司法部长帕姆·邦迪，国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆也于3月被替换。查韦斯-德雷默在离职前一直处于审查之下，多家媒体曾报道，劳工部内部监察机构正在调查其行为。
该部门监察长本月早些时候发布了一份44页的报告，详述了其所谓查韦斯-德雷默执政期间“充满毒性、恐吓和羞辱性”的工作环境，指控她多次违反部门政策。报告中仅在一个章节提及松德林，称查韦斯-德雷默及其办公厅主任后来对他产生了不信任，除此之外并未重点提及他。
周三的投票是参议院本月剩余时间离城前的最后一项议事议程，议员们将在中期选举前投身竞选活动。

Senate confirms Keith Sonderling as labor secretary
September 30, 2026 / 11:07 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — The Senate confirmed Keith Sonderling to lead the Department of Labor on Wednesday,officially installing the nominee who has been leading in an acting capacity since Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s exit in April.
In a 47 to 41 vote, the Senate confirmed Sonderling.
Sonderling served in several roles at the Department of Labor and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission during President Trump’s first administration. He previously practiced employment and labor law at a Florida law firm.
The president nominated Sonderling to the post in June, saying he had “proven his dedication to delivering strong results for the Hardworking People of our Country.” Sonderling had been serving as acting labor secretary since late April, when Chavez-DeRemer departed the post for the private sector.
Chavez-DeRemer’s departure was the latest in a string of Cabinet shakeups, coming weeks after Mr. Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, and after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was replaced in March. Chavez-DeRemer had been under scrutiny in the leadup to her exit, and several news outlets had reported that her conduct was under investigation by the Labor Department’s internal watchdog.
The department’s inspector general issued a 44-page report earlier this month detailing what it called a “toxic, intimidating and humiliating” work environment under Chavez-DeRemer, accusing her of violating department policies on multiple fronts. Sonderling did not feature prominently in the report, beyond one section saying that Chavez-DeRemer and her chief of staff grew to distrust him.
Wednesday’s vote represented the Senate’s last order of business before leaving town for the rest of the month, as senators take to the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections.
