Biden taps Shalanda Young to lead White House budget office
The Hill ^ | 11/24/21 09:45 AM EST | BY BRETT SAMUELS

President Biden on Wednesday announced his plans to nominate Shalanda Young as director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after the longtime Capitol Hill aide spent months serving as acting director.

If confirmed, Young would be the first Black woman to run the agency. She has served as acting director since Neera Tanden's nomination for OMB director was withdrawn in March.

Biden also announced his intent to nominate Nani Coloretti as deputy director of the OMB. Coloretti would become one of the highest ranking Asian American or Pacific Islanders in the administration if confirmed.

The president praised both nominees as "two of the most experienced, qualified people to lead OMB" in a recorded video message announcing the picks, and he called on the Senate to quickly confirm both.

Young was a longtime staffer on the House Appropriations Committee before Biden nominated her to serve as deputy OMB director earlier this year. She was confirmed with bipartisan support in March, and some Republicans suggested at the time they would support her for director should she be elevated to the role. The House Democratic Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus and the New Democrat Coalition have also backed her for the job.

Because if there’s anyone out there who’s an expert on budgeting and fiscal responsibility, it’s gonna be someone named Shalanda.

Biden has no cabinet, he is the leader of the Biden Cartel.

Doubtful.

Shalanda, Neera and Nani? Obama's third term, for sure.

March 2, 2021

Ranking member Lindsey Graham told Shalanda Young, the former top Democratic aide on the House Appropriations Committee, that she was “highly qualified” for the No. 2 role at the Office of Management and Budget. “Everybody that deals with you on our side has nothing but good things to say,” Graham said. “You might talk me out of voting for you, but I doubt it.”

...

Graham, R-S.C., later suggested that Young would make a good OMB director if Biden had to pull Tanden’s nomination for the top slot. “You’ll get my support, maybe for both jobs,” Graham said.
