The recent April 2026 departure of confirmed Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has shifted focus to President Trump’s choice for a permanent successor, elevating Keith Sonderling to the top position in trader consensus. As the current acting secretary and previously confirmed deputy with prior Wage and Hour Division and EEOC experience, Sonderling benefits from continuity and Senate familiarity amid ongoing department leadership needs. Bryan Slater follows due to his first-term DOL role and inclusion on the transition landing team, while options like Jonathan Berry and Andrew Puzder reflect earlier administration ties but lower current positioning. The “none in 2026” share underscores uncertainty over announcement timing and Senate confirmation dynamics before year-end.
