Neera Tanden replacements floated as Biden OMB pick faces mounting opposition

With President Biden on the precipice of having to pull his first Cabinet-level nominee as White House budget chief pick Neera Tanden loses support from both Democrats and Republicans, two names have emerged as a potential replacement.

Gene Sperling and Ann O’Leary are being floated as backups should Biden need to withdraw Tanden from consideration. Senators of both parties are balking at Tanden’s now-deleted tweets that she used to criticize former President Donald Trump, Republican lawmakers, and even some Democrats.
