Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), however, has already said in a statement that he won\u2019t vote to confirm Taden to the position:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span>I have carefully reviewed Nerra Tanden\u2019s public statements and tweets that were personally directed towards my colleagues on both sides of the aisle from Senator Sanders to Senator McConnell and others. I believe her overly partisan statements will have a toxic and detrimental impact on the important working relationship between members of Congress and the next director of the Office of Management and Budget. For this reason, I cannot support her nomination.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>As I have said before, we must take meaningful steps to end the political division and dysfunction that pervades our politics. At a time of grave crisis, it is more important than ever that we chart a new bipartisan course that helps address the many serious challenges our nation is facing.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>President Joe Biden said Friday evening that he\u2019s not going to pull Tanden\u2019s nomination, indicating that he\u2019s looking for cross-party support. However, other Democrats and Republicans have not indicated how they would vote on Tanden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Senator Kirsten Sinema (D-AZ), who holds the seat formerly occupied by Flake, has acted as a moderating force in her party on certain issues, such as raising the minimum wage through COVID-19 relief. She was also willing to break with her party at last year\u2019s State of the Union, when she stood and gave applause to then-President Donald Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) has also not indicated how she plans to vote on the Tanden nomination. Like Flake, Tanden has also referred to Collins and \u201ccriminally ignorant,\u201d and back in 2018, suggested that Collins should be haunted for \u201cthe rest of her days\u201d for the way she treated Christine Blasey Ford during the Kavanaugh hearings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
