Neera Tanden will become a senior adviser to President Biden

"Neera Tanden, whose nomination to lead the Office of Management and Budget was derailed by bipartisan opposition in the Senate, will become a senior adviser to President Joe Biden, two White House officials told NBC News on Friday."

Tanden, a leading progressive policy expert and an aide in two previous administrations, will be responsible for preparing for different contingencies that could result from the Supreme Court’s consideration of Republican lawsuits seeking to strike down the Affordable Care Act, one source told NBC News.

Tanden will also launch a review of the United States Digital Service, which the White House says has a crucial mission of making government accessible to the American people online.

The White House withdrew Tanden's nomination to lead OMB in March. Tanden ran into trouble after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., came out against her, citing overtly partisan statements that he said would have a toxic and detrimental impact on the working relationship between Congress and the agency.
