WASHINGTON – Neera Tanden, President Joe Biden's controversial pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget, withdrew herself from consideration Tuesday after her confirmation collapsed last week, dealing Biden his first major blow in his nominations to the Cabinet.
Biden in a statement said Tanden had withdrawn her nomination and said he still "look(ed) forward to having her serve in a role in my Administration," signaling that he could still appoint her to a position that does not require Senate confirmation.
