As President-elect Joe Biden reveals his economic team, one nominee already is facing stiff resistance from Senate Republicans, leading Democrats to rally in her defense ahead of what could prove to be a rough and tumble confirmation process.

If confirmed, Tanden, 50, would be the first woman of color and first South Asian American to lead the OMB.Neera Tanden speaks at a rally on the grounds of the U.S. Capital, Sept. 26, 2019, in Washington, DC. “In light of her combative and insulting comments about many members of the Senate, mainly on our side of the aisle, that it creates certainly a problematic path,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said. “I've noted that she’s apparently deleted a lot of our previous tweets in the last couple of weeks, which … seems pretty juvenile, and I mean it’s as if people don't have access to it.”Sen.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters Monday that Biden's Cabinet nominations should receive hearings in January"immediately" after the Georgia runoff elections, adding that Republicans are"grasping at straws" to explain their opposition to Biden's nominees, including Tanden.

The GOP will have nothing to say....Trump ruled by appointments and executive order...Prepare yourself for tons of the same shit repukes

Clinton appointee turned pundit. Haven’t we had enough TV pundits for a lifetime

They say they don't like her mean tweets. Yet they never spoke up about Trump's dishonest and destructive tweets. So many snowflakes in the Senate.

Republicans pounce.

Ogee money bag director?

I am sick of progressives..democrats and republicans...

The Republicans don't need to criticize anyone after the last 5 years of hearing and seeing the childish, unprofessional, unpresidential hate baiting no concern for the national debt debacle we're finally getting out of. Oh yeah, all Republicans were complicit with this BS.

good

Which one is she?

isnt it funny how biden is surrounding his cabinet with cute chicks? What have we done to ourselves America? We have become a laughingstock to the world .Shame isnt a hollow term, but shame on all who did this.

Don’t you recall the Democrats only word for 4 years RESIST well pay backs a bitch! realDonaldTrump GOPLeader 🇺🇸

They will be opposed to whoever they pick doesnt matter who it is. They are a bunch of brats that cant stand not having their way

idk who neeratanden is but JoeBiden can do what realDonaldTrump did for many of his nominees. Just appoint her and put her as 'acting' for quite some time. if he can do it so can Biden. Just sayin.

I believe it was called slow walk confirmations for the last four years.

Welcome!

I bet she's faced stiff things before !

Didn't the republican OMB delay aid to the Ukraine for dirt on biden? I suppose the GOP thinks we forgot

The GOPSenate rammed through completely unqualified cabinet members like BetsyDeVosED to fill Trump’s administration but are going to stonewall extremely qualified Biden nominees. One more reason to vote ossoff & ReverendWarnock , Georgia. flipthesenate GeorgiaRunoff

This is purposefully framed to give the illusion that Neer Tanden must be some sort of left wing champion to be drawing so much ire from Republicans. Nothing could further from the truth.

After GOP silence during Constitution crime, impeachment proceedings, inept responses to COVID-19(GOP believes 19 stands for 19th COVID strain to hit rather than the year it was identified), and the US Election process defamation, what does anyone care what the Republicans think?

John Podesta brokerage team who liase between Corporations, Clintons, Obamas and Bidens are in this economic team. Neera Tenden has been the Pit bull of Hillary Clinton. This group is the outer ring of present coup operation. It is a brokerage to corporate to democrats sell outs.

Neera Tanden was trending yesterday. ABC should read up on some of the arguments and explore her record in order to report on why Tanden is a controversial pick by Joe Biden.

Of course! She'll be fair, so CorruptGOP are having hissy fits.

Many progressives aren't happy about Neera Tanden either. They find her corporate affiliations problematic.

اختلاف في الطرقة بين الحزبين لكن الهدف واحد لانعاش وعودة القوة الاقتصادية لجميع الشعب الامريكي

I fully expect this kind of pushback EVERY time a RWNJ starts this kind of pearl clutching—EVERY time, SenSchumer. After four years of Trump, I don’t want to hear ANY of this crap.

The adjective should be changed to 'President-steal ' Joe Biden😂😂😂

👍👍

Gonna be a rerun of the difficulties President Obama faced

The United States will once again be made great under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris... or will it? You see, a very serious problem exists on both sides of the political spectrum.........

Where is FBI? Raiding twitter offices to review algorithms for election interference Securing all dominion voting machines to preserve each voter ballot “photos” & copy of program installed . Any of Hunter bidens server access ? Wow what a country StopTheSteaI

Racists

'Joe Biden is literally and legally not the president-elect. So why is the media pretending he is?'

Ho. Nuff said

Senate Republicans can get fvcked
