Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is reportedly unlikely to vote to confirm Neera Tanden, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget, a decision that would render the embattled nominee’s path to confirmation even harder than before. 

Close associates of Collins have become convinced she won’t vote to confirm Tanden, according to Axios. Although Collins hasn’t publicly taken a position, Tanden, over the years, has called her “criminally ignorant,” “the worst,” and expressed hope that she’d be haunted for the rest of her life for the way she treated Christine Blasey Ford during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings in 2018.
