Biden says he won't pull Tanden nomination after key Dem says he'll vote no

President Biden on Friday said he will not pull the nomination of Neera Tanden to be head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) -- despite her nomination being dealt a significant blow after a key Democrat said he would vote against her.

"I think we are going to find the votes to get her confirmed," he said, according to a pool report. Tanden has faced scrutiny for tweets made against political opponents on both sides of the aisle. These included her calling Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, "the worst" and Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., a "fraud," saying that "vampires have more heart than Ted Cruz," and referring to then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as "Moscow Mitch" and "Voldemort," referring to the Harry Potter villain.
