Biden's pick to head the White House budget office withdrew on Tuesday.

In a letter alongside Biden's statement, Tanden wrote that the nomination was the"honor of a lifetime" and withdrew to not let the process become a distraction. Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska became the lone swing vote that could rescue Tanden's nomination. The pair met in person on Monday, but Murkowski reiterated a day later she was still undecided on her confirmation.

Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio brought up the social media posts during Tanden's confirmation hearing before the Senate Budget Committee last month. She apologized, saying"I regret that language and take responsibility for it."from her account in 2020 after Biden nominated her to lead OMB.
