President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly tap Andy Puzder, chief executive of the company that owns the Hardee's and Carl's Jr. franchises, to be the next secretary of labor.
Puzder, a proponent of free-market economics, was one of Trump's staunchest advocates in the business community during the election.
Trump has not officially announced Puzder's nomination, but the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg have reported based on anonymous sources that it will be announced as early as Thursday. The fast-food magnate has long rumored to be the top candidate for the Cabinet post.
Puzder abandoned a career in law to take charge of CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Hardee's and Carl's Jr., in 1997 and is often credited with saving the then-faltering company.
