Tanden, a Hillary Clinton loyalist with a checkered past, was forced to withdraw her nomination to lead OMB — a post that requires Senate confirmation — in 2021 due to her past controversial remarks and volatile behavor.
Neera Tanden spent late 2016 and 2017 claiming that the real winner of the 2016 election was Hillary Clinton, but Russian hackers changed Hillary votes to Trump votes to ensure he won.
She covered up sexual harassment at her old job, once punched a reporter who asked Hillary Clinton about the Iraq War, and claimed Russian hackers flipped votes from Clinton to Trump in 2016.
Tanden’s 2021 nomination to be director of the White House Office of Management and Budget failed when her nasty attack tweets surfaced — with fellow Democrats sinking her chances.
Tanden deleted more than 1,000 tweets during her failed quest to lead OMB, including attacks on Republicans and non-centrist Democrats alike.
Her posts trashed the 2016 presidential bid of socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders as Russia’s choice against Democratic Party favorite Hillary Clinton and accused moderate Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) of being “high” on her “own supply.”
In a humorous moment during Tanden’s confirmation hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) quipped at her: “You called Sen. Sanders everything but an ignorant slut.” (more here)

Biden Taps Former Failed Nominee Neera Tanden For Domestic Policy Adviser, Replacing Susan Rice
President Joe Biden on Friday picked the White House staff secretary to succeed Susan Rice as his domestic policy chief.
By: Daily Caller, May 6, 2023:
Biden, who served with Rice under the Obama administration, announced Rice’s resignation from domestic policy adviser on April 24 where she served for two years. Neera Tanden, the president’s staff secretary and failed nominee to head the Office of Management (OMB), will take Rice’s place, according to a White House press release.

“For over two years, Susan Rice has helped craft and implement my domestic policy agenda and our country owes a debt of gratitude for her history-making public service,” Biden said in a statement. “I am pleased to announce that Neera Tanden will continue to drive the formulation and implementation of my domestic policy, from economic mobility and racial equity to health care, immigration and education.”
Tanden was nominated to lead the OMB, which is tasked with conveying the White House’s economic policy agenda to the Legislature, in 2020 following Biden’s election, but withdrew after several controversies surfaced during the confirmation process.
The long-time Democratic political operative allegedly once punched a reporter after asking a question that was critical of Hillary Clinton, to whom she served an adviser to when she was first lady, a senator and when she ran for president. Tanden also emailed staff of the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank she led, suggesting that Libya should pay back the U.S. in oil for intervening in their 2011 civil war.
