Washington The appointment of Indian-American Neera Tandon as the first black woman to the White House’s Office of Budget Management (OMB) as director has become a tad skeptical. Neera has been nominated for this position by President Joe Biden. He is scheduled to be appointed after a hearing in the Senate this week. The suspicion is due to opposition from three Republican and one Democratic lawmakers. All these MPs have considered Neera Tandon’s behavior on the internet media wrong.
White House said deadlock would be overcome
Neera Tandon has removed more than a thousand posts from the internet media before her appointment to the post. He has also apologized for his post on the internet media during his hearing. On suspicion over Neera’s appointment, White House spokeswoman Jane Saki said that we are contacting all lawmakers who oppose it. We are not taking anything for granted. The complaint of the Democratic MP will also be removed.
Republicans and some Democrats are protesting
Republican MP from Ohio Rob Portman said he would vote against Neera Tandon. Two other Republican lawmakers, Susan Collins and Mitt Romney, have also opposed Neera’s appointment. Democratic MP Joe Manchin has already announced the protest. Portman served as director of the OMB (Office of Management of Budget) during the tenure of former President George W. Bush. The Senate has fifty-fifty lawmakers, both Republican and Democratic.
