WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A Senate committee postponed the Wednesday hearing for President Joe Biden’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget, suggesting further challenges for Neera Tanden.
The Senate Homeland Security Committee postponed a morning meeting where the nomination was going to be discussed. They provided no further information.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki indicated Biden continues to stand by Tanden’s nomination.
“Neera Tanden is a leading policy expert who brings critical qualifications to the table during this time of unprecedented crisis,” she wrote on Twitter.
