Murkowski Weighs Neera Tanden’s Fate

“Neera Tanden’s been in Senate purgatory for a week now as she and the Biden administration fight to convince Sen. Lisa Murkowski to back her bid to be White House budget chief. And Murkowski isn’t making any sudden moves,” Politico reports.

“The moderate Alaska Republican’s vote is ‘fluid’ at the moment, said Senate Republican Whip John Thune (R-SD). Murkowski met with Tanden on Monday and said she has more follow-up questions, and Thune said Murkowski also has bigger concerns about her home state of Alaska.”
