Washington: India-American policy expert Neera Tanden, a trust near US President Joe Biden, has been named the Secretary of the White House staff, eight months after Republican Parliament members rushed nominations to the main post.
Tanden, 51, a senior advisor to the President of Biden named Secretary of the White House staff on Friday’s staff calls on Friday, CNN reported.
The White House staff secretary is the role behind the screen but is critical in Wing Wing, responsible for managing paper flow to the president of another region of administrative and federal government.
People who fill work have been seen as one of the most powerful in the building, he said.
In addition to his new duties, Tanden will defend the title of his senior advisory “and will continue to provide leadership in certain projects and initiatives,” Politico reported, quoted a White House official.
He will report to the Chief of Staff of White House Ron Klain, he said.
The appointment does not require the Senate confirmation.
“The role of staff secretaries is the central nervous system of the White House and move the decision-making process and manage various problems for the President,” the White House official said.
Tanden has “more than two decades of experience in policy and management which is an important element of the role.
His experience in domestic, economic and national security policies will be the main asset in this new role,” the official said.
Tanden’s appointment as the White House staff secretary came eight months after he pulled the nomination as Director of the White House Management and Budget Office due to rigid opposition from the Republican Senator.
In March, he faced a difficult time to confirm his nomination as Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the explosion of the past social media against several parliamentarians, including those from their own democratic parties.
While accepting Tanden’s request to pull his name from the nomination in March, President Biden said, “I highly respect to record his achievements, his experience and advice, and I hope to have serviced in my government in my government.
He will bring a valuable perspective and insight For our work.
“The White House announced in May that Tanden was appointed as a senior advisor for Biden.
Tanden previously served as a senior advisor for health reform in the Ministry of Health and US Humans.
He worked with Congress and stakeholders about certain provisions of the legislative achievement of President Barack Barack Obama’s signature, affordable care.
Before that, Tanden was a domestic policy director for President Obama-Biden’s campaign, where he managed all domestic policy proposals.
Tanden also served as policy director for the first presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.
Before the 2008 presidential campaign, Tanden served as the Director of the Legislature at the Clinton office, and the representative of the campaign manager and director of the issue for the 2000 Clinton Senate Campaign.
He began his career as Director of Associate for domestic policies in former White House President Bill Clinton, and senior policy advisors to the First Lady.
