A spokesperson for Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) stated Neera Tanden, President-elect Joe Biden’s reported pick to head the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has “zero chance” of being confirmed for the post.
Drew Brandewie, Cornyn’s communications director, pointed out there are several negative remarks Tanden has made toward Republican lawmakers in the past, and noted she would need their votes for confirmation.
“Neera Tanden, who has an endless stream of disparaging comments about the Republican Senators’ whose votes she’ll need, stands zero chance of being confirmed,” Brandewie tweeted.

Tanden, though, doesn’t just have an issue with Republicans. Progressives aren’t all that thrilled about her selection either.
Nomiki Konst, a former surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, called Tanden out as “a smear agent of the left.”
Tanden has been accused of physically assaulting Faiz Shakir, former Sanders campaign manager when he worked for ThinkProgress, a fact which doesn’t sit well with many supporters of the Vermont socialist.
One witness claimed she punched Shakir, though Tanden disputed that and said, “I didn’t slug him, I pushed him.”

Flimsey Grahamnesty is on record wanting to rubber stamp whoever Senile Joe appoints.
I do not care anymore. Cornyn can go to hell along with the other RINO elitist. I will never give a crap what they have to say again.
She’s a false pick! It’s just to get attention and throw a bone to the loons. You don’t get any attention with the humdrum picks. The Dems want discussion of these people as if Biden is taking office. Normalcy bias, done deal, just a matter of time, etc.
This has nothing to do with her.
Trump is out and normal programming has resumed.
Symbolic fake DC fights about nothing while globalist open borders restarts.
