President Joe Biden will nominate Shalanda Young on Wednesday to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget, according to sources familiar with the decision
.
Several Republican senators have said they would support Young’s nomination to lead the White House budget office, likely making for a speedy confirmation to head an agency at the core of executing Biden's economic agenda and policy plans. Young has extensive knowledge of the federal budget and spending process from her 14 years of work on the House Appropriations committee. In recent weeks, she has been ratcheting up pressure on Congress to negotiate on annual spending bills, with federal cash set to dry up on Dec. 3. Republicans areto stick Democrats with Trump-era funding levels, which Young has warned will hamper public health efforts and hurt military readiness, among other things.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats first endorsed Young for OMB director in March. And a number of Democrats have continued to puzzle over why the White House has not nominated her sooner.
