President Joe Biden's nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget Neera Tanden has criticized Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Twitter, one person who could put an end to her Senate confirmation.
In a tweet from 2017, Tanden told Murkowski that she must be "High on your own supply" after Murkowski tweeted about lowering the corporate tax rate.
Tanden needs one Republican to vote in favor of her confirmation, with the Senate split at 50-50, as Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin announced Friday that he would oppose Tanden's confirmation.
Tandedn deleted over 1,000 tweets critical of Republicans she did not delete this one.
Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney confirmed Tuesday that he will vote against Tanden's confirmation, just one day after Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins announced that she will oppose Tanden's confirmation.
A number of Republican senators have continued to press Tanden over her past comments and donations to Democrats.
Biden nominated Tanden while she was serving as president of the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank.
