Tanden’s “mean tweets” doomed her with Joe Manchin. Photo: Ting Shen/Bloomberg via Getty Images The White House is planning to withdraw the nomination of Neera Tanden for the position of director of the Office of Management and Budget, according to multiple media reports.
Speculation on a possible substitute for Tanden has been well under way for a while, with some Democrats touting former Hillary Clinton advisor Ann O’Leary, while progressives began to coalesce around Clinton-Obama economic advisor Gene Sperling.
There will be some talk about Tanden’s withdrawal being a major blow to the Biden administration, but a quick and successful substitution would make that judgment fade. As for Tanden, she may well be offered a high-ranking White House position that does not require Senate confirmation, or much direct interaction with the objects of “mean tweets.”
