Neera Tanden, Biden’s Indian-American nominee to lead budget faces challenge to her confirmation
The Hindu
Indian-American Neera Tanden, U.S. President Joe Biden’s nominee for the position of Director of White House Office of Management and Budget, is facing a challenge to her confirmation after Democratic Senator Joe Manchin announced that he would vote against her over “overtly partisan statements”.
Mr. Manchin’s announcement means that unless a Republican Senator comes forward to support her nomination, it is unlikely that Ms. Tanden, 50, will be confirmed for the job.
