excerpts:

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.

“You’ll get my support, maybe for both jobs,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Young during her confirmation hearing in March.

The job of the White House budget director is likely to be even more difficult if Republicans take back the House or Senate in next year’s midterm elections, since high-stakes fiscal standoffs between congressional leaders and the president are the norm in a divided government.

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.

"We have worked closely with her for several years and highly recommend her for her intellect, her deep expertise on the federal budget and her determination to ensure that our budget reflects our values as a nation,” Pelosi wrote in a statement with Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn earlier this year.

"Her legislative prowess, extensive knowledge of federal agencies, incisive strategic mind and proven track record will be a tremendous asset to the Biden-Harris Administration,” they wrote in March.
