Revealed! How Twitter killed Neera Tanden’s chances

Revealed! How Twitter killed Neera Tanden’s chances-The White House bowed to the inevitable on Tuesday night, pulling the nomination of Neera Tanden to be the director of the office of Management and Budget.

That a Cabinet nominee didn’t make it even to a Senate floor vote isn’t anything new. Every president since Bill Clinton has lost at least one of his initial Cabinet picks. . Given that, it would have been more exceptional if President Biden didn’t lose any cabinet nominees.

What is new — and what Biden and his inner circle clearly underestimated — is just how much Tanden’s aggressive and attacking style on Twitter would impact (and doom) her nomination.

The calculation made by the President and his chief of staff Ron Klain, perhaps Tanden’s biggest advocate, was that her powerful personal story (raised by a single mom who had come to the United states from India) and the historic nature of her nomination (she would have been the first woman of South Asian heritage to serve as OMB director) would overcome any lingering queasiness from senators about her past tweets

Well, that plus Tanden’s efforts to scrub her Twitter account of the most personal attacks against the senators who would now sit as judge, jury and executioner on her nomination. And her apology — “I deeply regret and apologize for my language and some of my past language,” she said during her confirmation hearing — for her tweets.

It didn’t work. See, Tanden’s nomination didn’t fail because of some policy disagreement with key senators or some sort of scandal in her personal life. It failed because she tweeted lots and lots of attacks at senators. Period.

“I have carefully reviewed Neera Tanden’s 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,” said West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat, in announcing his opposition to Tanden’s nomination. “I believe her overtly 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.”

Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins echoed that sentiment in opposing Tanden. “Her past actions have demonstrated exactly the kind of animosity that President Biden has pledged to transcend,” Collins said. “In addition, Ms. Tanden’s decision to delete more than a thousand tweets in the days before her nomination was announced raises concerns about her commitment to transparency.”
