Several Republicans said they thought Tanden's language on Twitter, in particular, made her incapable of being a bipartisan negotiator. Tanden said she recognized that her prior role as a liberal advocate allowed for a different tone, one different than she'd set as head of OMB.
"I recognize that this role is a bipartisan role, and I know I have to earn the trust of senators across the board. I will work very aggressively to meet that concern," Tanden said.https://bit.ly/3jEdwrn
The discourse over Tanden's past language was also linked to the reality that many Republicans did not condemn former President Trump for his use of divisive language on social media platforms.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/01/19/upshot/trump-complete-insult-list.html …
During the hearings, Tanden also discussed combating inequality. In terms of policy, Tanden's perspective will in part be shaped by her background as the daughter of an Indian immigrant, she said.https://bit.ly/3jEdwrn
As OMB director, Tanden would be tasked with leading an office that will implement Biden's budget and policy agenda across agencies, as well as oversee regulatory policy that can dip into numerous fields, including cyber security, climate change and domestic job growth.
"...the deep economic challenges we're facing, women are disproportionately being impacted by that. The recession is having a disproportionate impact on caregiving, and women are leaving because they need to take care of children...” Tanden said.https://bit.ly/3jEdwrn
Tanden's nomination must next be approved by both Senate committees, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Budget, before it can move to a vote by the full Senate.

Neera Tanden, Biden's pick to head the Office of Management and Budget, faced two tough days of questioning by senators who wondered if her prior incendiary remarks about members of Congress make her a poor fit for the role.
