Biden's Failed Pick for OMB Now Biden Advisor


President Biden's Sole Administration Pick to Fail in making it through Senate Confirmation has landed a Gig in the White House.

Neera Tanden, whose Nomination for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Chief was Withdrawn when it became apparent that Not enough Senators would Approve her.

She is now a Senior Adviser to Biden.

Tanden will begin Planning for potential Policy Changes that could Result from the forthcoming U.S. Supreme Court Decision on Republican Legal Efforts to Strike Down the Affordable Care Act, in her New Role.

Tanden previously worked in the Obama Administration and most recently Served as Head of Left-Wing Think Tank Center for American Progress, and is reportedly "a close ally" of White House Chief of Staff, Ron Klain.

Tanden's OMB Nomination was Derailed after Hearings focused on several of her Past Tweets, where she Attacked several of the Senators who would Weigh-In on her Fitness for the Role.

Tanden hit out at several Republicans in now Deleted Tweets, which Resurfaced once her Nomination was announced.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) reminded her during a Hearing: "You wrote that [Sen.] Susan Collins (R-Maine) is 'the worst,' that [Sen.] Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) is a 'fraud,' that 'vampires have more heart' than [Sen.] Ted Cruz (R-Texas). You called [Senate Minority] Leader [Mitch] McConnell (R-Ky.) 'Moscow Mitch,' and 'Voldemort,' and on and on."

But the former OMB Pick did Not just attack Republicans. She also targeted Democratic Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) during the Democratic Presidential Primary, prompting him to Complain to the Center for American Progress at the time.

Tanden Apologized to the Senate for "any hurt" that her "rhetoric" and "language" caused, and Admitted that she spent months ahead of her Nomination Deleting Social Media Posts.

The death knell to Tanden's Nomination was when Moderate Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced that he would Not Approve her for the Role in a Senate that is Split 50-50.

Manchin said of Tanden in February, ""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," he explained. "For this reason, I cannot support her nomination."

Tanden's Nomination was Withdrawn in Early March.

OMB Deputy Director, Shalanda Young, is currently Acting as Interim Chief until a Permanent Director is Confirmed.

Vacancies can be filled by an Acting Official for 210 days under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. If the Vacancy Dates from the Inauguration of a New Administration, they can get a 90 day Extension, making the Time Limit 300 Days.
