During the Barack Obama presidency, Tanden helped create the Affordable Care Act. In May 2021, she became a Senior Advisor to President Joe Biden.
On November 29, 2020, then President-elect Joe Biden announced that he would nominate Tanden as the next director of the Office of Management and Budget.[3][4] However, after Democrats and Republicans criticized her nomination, she withdrew her nomination as OMB director on March 3, 2021.[5] Two months later, she became senior advisor to Biden.
