Elections have consequences, and President Biden won with every mandate to put monetary doves like Janet Yellen in the Treasury Department and Obama loyalists like Tony Blinken in the State Department. But as Donald Trump learned, even presidents cannot populate their Senate-approved circles with professional Twitter trolls, and Neera Tanden rightly became the first fatality of Biden’s Cabinet dreams.

It’s telling enough that the White House touted Tanden primarily on the basis of the fact that she would be the first Asian American to run the Office of Management and Budget (a far less impressive feat considering the fact that our first female vice president is also our first Indian American one) and that she survived thanks to government benefits after her father evidently left the family. Much less was made on the Left about the fact that the nominee to run federal management actually had a slew of problems demonstrating her utter incompetency at running any form of management.
