Trump labor pick Andrew Puzder has voiced second thoughts about nomination [View all]
CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/16/politics/andrew-andy-puzder-labor-trump/index.html
Excerpt: President-elect Donald Trump's choice to be labor secretary has voiced second thoughts in recent days, because of a relentless barrage of criticism from Democrats, labor unions and other liberal groups, a business ally and GOP sources tell CNN.
Andy Puzder is the CEO of the company that owns the Hardees and Carl's Jr. fast food chains.
"He may be bailing," said a Republican source plugged into the Trump transition effort. "He is not into the pounding he is taking, and the paperwork."
A Trump transition spokesperson declined to comment, but later pointed to a tweet made by Puzder after CNN's report, which said: "I am looking forward to my hearing."
