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
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.
