When Joe Biden began constructing his super-team after he stole the election from Donald Trump, he must have thought that everyone on his list was going to get through. Not exactly.
See, even though that a good portion of Democrats usually tend to act as they had just gotten shock therapy, there are times when even they realize that something isn’t a good idea.
Those Cabinet positions can often affect policy as much as a sitting President does, and you have to know that you have someone that will do things right down the middle and independent of everything that Joe Biden wants. Thankfully, we have separated someone that didn’t make the cut.
Joe Biden did all he could to get Hillary’s close friend Neera Tanden confirmed by the Senate as the head of the OMB. (Office of Budget and Management) But now that quest is over as Tanden has withdrawn her nomination. My guess is that Biden will appoint her to a job that the Senate does not need to confirm.
Tanden was one of the major boosters of the Russia Collusion hoax. She is also the author of many hateful comments about Republicans.
She must not have made a good impression on RINO Lisa Murkowski, her last hope for confirmation with whom she met in an effort to get the 50th vote she needed.
Ironically, some of her nasty comments about Republicans are the same people she now needed on her side. The good news is any position she will get will be in an advisory capacity and not an authoritarian one.
This is a major blow to Biden who spent a lot of p0olitical capital in trying to save her nomination even as she had no pathway to victory.
Tanden was a controversial pick from the beginning but Biden who still believes he got 81 million votes thought he could wield enough power to get her confirmed. Biden is not in a good position with many of his proposed initiatives.
His $1.9 trillion alleged COVID 19 stimulus package is doomed to failure or at least a revision over the proposed minimum wage of $15 that AOC now insists should be $24.
