Neera Tanden OMB nomination hanging by a thread as Dems launch ‘full-scale effort’ to find votes
Fox News
Democrats are launching a “full-scale effort” to drum up the votes to confirm Neera Tanden, President Biden's pick to be the director of the Office of Management and Budget, after powerful moderates in the Senate signaled they wouldn’t offer their support.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki refused to say whether Biden was considering an alternative to the embattled OMB nominee. "There is one candidate to lead the budget department. Her name is Neera Tanden," she said. Psaki said Wednesday that both the White House and Tanden were in the "fighting" phase and were "doing outreach" to senators to find support. "It's a numbers game, right? It's a matter of getting one Republican to support her nomination," she said.More Related News
