Psaki: Biden admin 'committed to fighting our hearts out' for Tanden, raising minimum wage

The Biden administration remains committed to "fighting our hearts out" for Budget Director pick Neera Tanden, Biden's press secrestary said Sunday.

Psaki made similar comments during an appearance on "The View" on Thursday. Tanden's hopes of becoming the next head of the powerful Office of Management and Budget are in jeopardy after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., a key swing vote, announced his opposition due to her caustic Twitter history. "We knew some of these fights would be difficult, and this is certainly one of them, but she’s going to have a number of continued engagements this week, and we are certainly hopeful we can get it across the finish line," Psaki said Sunday.
