That\u2019s what we\u2019re working for, and she will prove her critics wrong as an outstanding budget director that works with people on both sides of the aisle. That\u2019s what I think her record truly shows,\u201d Klain told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/the-reidout\/watch\/ron-klain-we-re-fighting-our-guts-out-to-get-neera-tanden-confirmed-for-omb-101545029762\">MSNBC<\/a> host Joy Reid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But Klain also said that if Tanden weren\u2019t confirmed, she would be placed in position \u201cthat doesn\u2019t require Senate confirmation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced last week that he would not vote to confirm Tanden, leaving the White House scrambling to find a Republican senator to replace his vote and bring them to a narrow majority. But Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT), Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), and Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) have all announced they will oppose Tanden, as has Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), a former White House budget director himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI believe that the tone, the content, and the aggressive partisanship of some of Ms. Tanden\u2019s public statements will make it more difficult for her to work effectively with both parties in this role,\u201d said Portman in a statement, in which he also remarked:\u00a0<\/span><span>\u201cI\u2019m also concerned about her decision to delete thousands of tweets in the month after the election and the lack of transparency in her decision to do so, as well as her lack of experience on key issues for OMB, such as the regulatory and budgeting processes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tanden, the president of the Center for American Progress, has apologized for her past statements. According to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/02\/24\/biden-asian-american-save-tanden-471558\"><span>Politico<\/span><\/a><span>, advocacy groups are trying to convince two senators to vote to confirm Tanden: Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Murkowski, who recently said she was still looking into Tanden\u2019s nomination, and suggested she still had a lot of research to do after a reporter asked her about a tweet Tanden sent that accused the Alaska senator of being \u201chigh on your own supply.\u201d Tanden sent the tweet back in 2017, after Murkowski tweeted about taxes and the GOP tax bill, and never deleted it.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">No offense but this sounds like you\u2019re high on your own supply.<\/p>\n<p>You know, we know, and everyone knows this is all garbage.
