Sen. Susan Collins (R-Me.) comes out this morning against Neera Tanden's nomination. Very hard to see where White House finds the votes at this point— Jeff Stein (@JStein_WaPo) February 22, 2021
This is great and all, but this just confirms to libs that nothing can get done because of the Republicans and that the voting must be done harder. The kid gloves will continue to grow
I don't think any of Biden's big financial backers will accept this excuse when their meat is on the chopping block.
Neera getting the ax signals - to me, at least - that Biden doesn't feel like he owes her anything. He gave her the nom and left her to whip her own votes. She failed. So she doesn't get it. And she has nobody to blame but herself.
I'm still waiting to see what Biden's big moves are going to be. But this ain't it.
