C12-2 Andrew Puzder withdraws as President Trump's nominee for Labor secretary

Trumps pick for Labor Secretary Andrew Puzder withdrew his nomination today due to people concerns that he didn't have the votes to win confirmation. He did it shortly after the Senate Republican leaders told the Whit House that he actually didn't have the votes. Puzder, who is the head of Hardee's had planned on his confirmation hearing to be Thursday of this week but now he has learned that he doesn't have the votes.  Democrats have accused him of domestic violence against his wife. I think that it sounds like he didnt want the embarrassment of not having enough votes so he wanted to make it look like he didn't want to be Labor Secretary.
