Washington: Neera Tanden, whose charge became the head of the White House budget slipped by the Republican opposition after his sharp criticism on Twitter, was named the Secretary of the White House staff on Friday, placing it in the role behind the scenes.
The appointment, which did not require the Senate confirmation, was announced during the morning staff call, a White House official said.
Work Secretary staff manages the flow of paper, circulating documents among senior staff to comment as part of the decision-making process and often known as the “Nerve Center” of the White House.
This is the work ever held by the Supreme Court Judge at this time Brett Kavanaaugh, who is the secretary of staff for the White House George W.
Bush.
Jessica Hertz has held a position in the Biden White House until now.
Tanden will report to the Chief of Staff of White House Ron Klain.
“Neera has more than two decades of experience in policy and management which is important elements of the role.
His experience in domestic, economic and national security policies will be the main asset in this new role,” the White House official said.
Tanden, before an adviser of former US President Barack Obama and former State Secretary Hillary Clinton, has served as president of the American progress central (CAP), a left-tank think-leaning, until he became senior adviser President Joe Biden in May.
Tanden criticized from the Republican Party, and his nomination to become director of the White Budget Headquarters was threatened after Democratic Senator Joe Manchin said he would not choose to approve it in the US Senate, which was divided into 50-50 Democrats and the Republican Party.
He has pulled his name from consideration for OMB work in March due to opposition.
