Republican Senator Collins to reject Biden’s budget pick Tanden: statement By Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican U.S. Senator Susan Collins on Monday said she would vote against Democratic President Joe Biden’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) nominee Neera Tanden, further imperiling her confirmation.

“Neera Tanden has neither the experience nor the temperament to lead this critical agency. Her past actions have demonstrated exactly the kind of animosity that President Biden has pledged to transcend,” Collins said in a statement. “The OMB needs steady, experienced, responsive leadership. I will vote against confirming Ms Tanden.”
