The Democrat-led Senate rejected the nomination of Jose Javier Rodriguez for assistant secretary of labor, with two Democrats and Republicans opposing the motion.

Concerns about Rodriguez’s political activism and lack of experience were cited as reasons for the opposition.

This is not the first time Biden’s nominees have faced challenges in the Senate, with other nominees facing similar issues. (Trending: Disgraced Democrat Sued For Sexual Assault)

According to POLITICO, a spokesman for Sen. Manchin revealed that Manchin had “concerns about his (Rodriguez) political activism and lack of experience.”

The Senate is working to resolve the standoff and continue confirming President Biden’s nominees.

Sen. Schumer wrote in a letter this week, “the Senate will continue working to confirm President Biden’s diverse and experienced nominees and add more of those nominees to the federal bench.”
