But lobbying has already begun in earnest as lawmakers and outside groups put pressure on their preferred candidates.

Here are the names to keep an eye out for as the Biden White House honors a new nominee for OMB director.

Shalanda Young

Shalanda Young is Biden’s choice for deputy director of OMB, making her a natural choice to take the lead of the agency, and she’s gotten the most buzz of any potential nominee in the 24 hours since Tanden was taken out of consideration.

And Majority Whip James Clyburn (DS.C.) released a statement on Wednesday supporting Young for the job, and the Congressional Black Caucus and New Democratic Coalition have also thrown their support behind her.

Perhaps most importantly, multiple Republican senators have indicated that they would support Young for both the deputy director role and the director position should she be nominated for the latter.

Young spent the past 14 years as a staff member on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, most recently in the top post of staff director. Young would be the first woman of color to lead OMB if she is nominated and confirmed.

Ann O’Leary

Ann O’Leary has been suggested as a possible replacement for Tanden dating back to mid-February, when his nomination was found to be in jeopardy.

Some progressive Democrats have backed O’Leary in talks with the White House, and Politico reported in late February that O’Leary had personally expressed her belief that she would be considered for the job if Tanden’s nomination faltered.

O’Leary told Politico at the time that she was “1,000 percent behind” Tanden as the nominee.

Gene Sperling

Gene Sperling was the head of the National Economic Council (NEC) under former President Clinton and former President Obama, making him the only person to do this for two different presidents.

Sperling worked extensively on economic policy in both administrations. He worked as an assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury during the Obama administration before heading the NEC.

His supporters have touted Sperling’s experience on Capitol Hill, combining Sperling’s experience in budget battles with his time at Obama’s White House, arguing that it will help him navigate tough budget battles.

But Tanden was a woman of color, and Biden’s White House will likely come under pressure to nominate a diverse candidate in her place.

Chris Lu, Nani Coloretti or Sonal Shah

With Tanden’s nomination dropped, the Biden administration has nominated only one person who is an Asian-American or Pacific islander for a cabinet role with his choice of Katherine TaiKatherine TaiChina is playing the Trump card, but Biden is not buying it.

The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus and advocacy groups are urging Biden to consider an Asian-American or Pacific Islander to replace Teeth, who would have been the first Native American woman to lead OMB.

Among the names being pushed are Chris Lu, who served as cabinet secretary during the Obama administration; Nani Coloretti, who was Deputy Secretary of Housing and Urban Development during the Obama administration; and Sonal Shah, who founded the White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation in Obama’s White House and most recently served as National Policy Director on Pete ButtigiegPete Buttigieg Harris Urges Support for Cities in Coronavirus Aid Package Exclusive: How Obama Got to Work for Warren The Hill’s 12:30 Report – Presented By Facebook – Biden vs. Trump, Part II MORE‘s presidential campaign.

Hope @JoeBiden and Administration will consider another #AsianAmerican for OMB. Now is the time and it is important to the # AAPI community, ”Shah tweeted Tuesday.

Proponents have noted that Asian Americans are the fastest growing demographic in the United States, making representation in Biden’s cabinet particularly important.

“I think we put a lot of effort into Neera’s nomination … At least it would be helpful for the community to have other Asian Americans considered for the role,” said Madalene Xuan-Trang Mielke, president of the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies.
