Manchin to oppose Biden OMB pick Neera Tanden over controversial Twitter posts
Fox News
West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin said on Friday that he would oppose President Biden’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget over her Twitter history.
"I have carefully reviewed Neera Tanden’s public statements and tweets that were personally directed towards my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, from Senator Sanders to Senator McConnell and others," Manchin said. "I believe her overtly partisan statements will have a toxic and detrimental impact on the important working relationship between members of Congress and the next director of the Office of Management and Budget. For this reason, I cannot support her nomination." Tanden has since deleted tweets she penned that were critical of several senators, including many in the GOP after she was nominated to the director position at the OMB.More Related News
