We relied on the social safety net to get back on our feet,' said Tanden talking about her mother who was on welfare for nearly two years before obtaining a job as a travel agent.But choosing Tanden has not gone down well with many Republican leaders and she has been termed as Biden's worst nominee. “I think in light of her combative and insulting comments about many members of the Senate, mainly on our side of the aisle, that it creates certainly a problematic path to confirmation,” said Senator John Cornyn, who is also co-chair of the Senate India Caucus. Meanwhile, Democrat leaders support her nomination and Senator Mazie K Hirono said,“As someone who relied on food stamps and public housing growing up, Neera understands the transformational role and responsibility of government programmes to help individuals and families across our country.”
