Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said he will oppose President Joe Biden’s nomination to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), coming after centrist Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said they would oppose the pick.

The three senators’ announcements put Neera Tanden’s nomination in jeopardy as the Senate is split at 50-50. Fellow centrist Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) has not stated whether she will confirm Tanden.
