Republicans lambasted the bill for its provision overturning right-to-work laws, which make it illegal to require workers to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment.

I fully, fairly support states who want to protect their right to work. I have said that to every senator that I have visited.

So you no longer support the aspect of the PRO Act that would have overturned state right to work laws? Yeah.

There were so many parts.

204.252 - 204.933 Rand Paul

That's a yes?

205.153 - 214.823 Susan Collins

307.673 - 310.314 Bernie Sanders

Is that your solution? No, no, sit down.

310.474 - 332.172 Megyn Kelly

That was Bernie Sanders there, full-time senator, part-time referee. Sean O'Brien telling Fox News he is ready to go to the mat to get Mr. Reamer confirmed. Overall, the hearing generally lacked many fireworks. Democrats and Republicans both emphasizing the importance of growing apprenticeship training. Mr. Reamer agreed. When you're down to apprenticeship training,

332.492 - 339.096 Megyn Kelly

you're in a good place of seeing your nominee confirmed. Virginia Senator Tim Kaine did lay a bit of a trap for Mr. Reamer at one point.

339.577 - 345.68 Tim Kaine

Should you be confirmed? Would you take those obligations to watch out for American veterans seriously?
