“I am working with President Biden to find the extra votes so she can be passed,” he told reporters during a news conference in New York on Sunday, mentioning Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who said last week he would not vote for Tanden. “I think she would be a very good OMB leader,” Schumer added.

Tanden’s confirmation as director is in further jeopardy after Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) announced Monday she will vote against Tanden.

“Neera Tanden has neither the experience nor the temperament to lead this critical agency,” Sen. Susan Collins said.

That should be the kiss of death for any nominee for any position. Those two things.

Romney doesn’t like her “mean tweets”, if they’ve lost the most loyal Assistant Democrat, they need to pull the nomination.

He said no as well. Problem for this lady is the tweets were directed towards Romney, Collins and another republican. Most don’t give favors like positive votes once you are called out by said person on Twitter. Lesson learned. Lol.

She will crash and burn...a devastating loss for the Clintonistas, as Tanden was John Podesta’s hand-picked successor at the Center for American Treason.

If Collins is opposed, he/she must be really, really bad.
