Original: UPDATE: Trump’s Latest NLRB Pick Could Swing Biden-Era Precedent
Short summary
The Senate HELP Committee approved Trump's nomination of James Macy to the NLRB on July 15, 2026. If confirmed, Macy would give Republicans a 3-member majority, enabling the Board to overturn Biden-era labor precedents. However, timing is critical: Prouty's term ends August 27, and the Senate recesses August 7, creating a narrow confirmation window.
