Progressives and conservatives on Tuesday celebrated the White House pulling the nomination of Neera Tanden to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under President Joe Biden.
Tanden's nomination was highly controversial, with members from both sides of the political aisle having called her a divisive figure from the beginning.
In a Tuesday statement, Biden confirmed that he accepted Tanden's request to withdraw her name from nomination for Director of the OMB.
"I have the utmost respect for her record of accomplishment, her experience and her counsel, and I look forward to having her serve in a role in my Administration," he said.
