  • Keith Sonderling — resolved “Yes” on 1 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if Keith Sonderling becomes the first new Secretary of Labor before January 20, 2029. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the confirmation date for the start date; the clock begins only when he actually assumes office.
