The regulation’s advancement may depend on Trump’s pick for Secretary of Labor, Lori Chavez-DeRemer. During her time in Congress, no legislation on disabled subminimum wage made it to a vote, so her position is unclear. Multiple sources who work on disability policy on the Hill noted that Chavez-DeRemer wasn’t opposed to ending the practice, nor did she hold especially strong beliefs on the issue, and they see real possibility for progress under her leadership. Chavez-DeRemer could not be reached for comment. <br>

<br>
In his announcement on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump said that Lake will “ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media."<br>
<br>
Websites that track media bias rate VOA as nonpartisan and a “center” news source on a left-to-right scale. Its broadcasts reach more than 354 million people worldwide.<br>
<br>
Lake, who ran and lost her bids for Arizona governor in 2022 and U.S. senator in 2024, is a Trump loyalist and fierce antagonist in her approach to the media. During her campaign for governor, she told journalists that she was going to be their “worst fricking nightmare” if elected and that she would “reform the media.” She has also called reporters “monsters.”<br>
