Alexander Acosta was confirmed as the next Labor Secretary Thursday by a 60-38 vote, meaning President Trump now has his full cabinet confirmed.
Acosta was nominated in February after Andrew Puzder dropped out. He is a former member of the National Labor Relations Board and former Assistant Attorney General, and is the first Hispanic member of Trump's cabinet.
