Democrat operative Neera Tanden to replace Rice at WH

JTN: Democratic operative Neera Tanden, who withdrew her nomination by President Biden to lead the Office of Management and Budget, largely over her online attacks on political rivals, is reportedly a top candidate to replace Susan Rice as the president’s top domestic policy adviser.

Rice resigned Monday. 

A former administration official told Politico that White House aides have been talking openly about Tanden’s consideration for Rice’s job, calling her potential appointment “pretty damn firm.”

Tanden withdrew her nomination to run the Office of Management and Budget in March 2021 when it became clear she didn’t have the Senate votes for her confirmation, largely over her past comments about political rivals – from every party.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, accused Tanden said during her confirmation hearings of “vicious attacks” against progressives. MORE
