This appointment is yet to be confirmed by the Senate. If the Senate approves this appointment, then 50-year-old Neera Tandon would be the first Indian-American woman to hold such a high position in the White House. She will be the first woman who will not be white and will occupy this post. On this post, Neera will have the responsibility of handling the budget of Biden administration.
