Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs has postoponed 10a vote on Neera Tanden’s nomination - a very bad sign for her confirmation
The committee vote has been postponed on Tanden because senators want more time to consider the nomination, per committee official. Not a good sign for her getting the votes. Sen. Sinema sits on the committee and hasn’t said how she would vote
WH not yet pulling Tanden, per @kaitlancollins. “Neera Tanden is a leading policy expert who brings critical qualifications to the table during this time of unprecedented crisis," Psaki says
The delay has to do with uncertainty over Sinema’s position. If she’s a no, it’s over for Tanden. If she’s a yes, there’s a chance she gets confirmed if Murkowski saves it. That’s why WH hasn’t pulled her yet
