Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said Monday that she will not support President Biden's nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget, Neera Tanden, dealing another blow to the odds of confirmation. "Neera Tanden has neither the experience nor the temperament to lead this critical agency." I will vote against confirming Ms. Tanden," Collins concluded. On Friday, Biden said he will not pull the nomination of Neera Tanden to be head of the OMB despite her nomination being dealt a significant blow after Manchin said he would vote against her.
