If that legislation is passed by Congress, the OMB director would play a key role in implementing the economic agenda. The lack of a permanent director at the agency had become more noticeable as Democrats look to use the budget reconciliation process to pass the centerpiece of Biden’s domestic agenda - a potentially multi-trillion dollar package to expand the nation’s social safety net.
Tanden is now serving as White House staff secretary. Young has been on parental leave after having a baby last month. Young has been serving as OMB’s acting director since March after the White House pulled Neera Tanden’s nomination for the role because she didn’t have enough support in the Senate. The President noted both Young and Coloretti have been previously confirmed by the Senate with strong bipartisan support. This is an agency that not only helps me create the budget, but also makes sure that your tax dollars are spent efficiently and effectively and exactly as the law requires,” Biden said. “The Office of Management and Budget has been called the nerve center of our government. The agency has significant influence over the President’s agenda. OMB is an incredibly powerful part of the federal government and oversees all budget development and execution.
“Today, it’s my honor to nominate two extraordinary history-making women to lead the Office of Management and Budget,” Biden said in a video.
