Saule Omarova has withdrawn her nomination to lead a top banking regulator, the White House announced Tuesday, after facing opposition from Republicans and some moderate Democrats.
Omarova withdrew her name from consideration to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency after a contentious nomination process that saw moderate Democrats express skepticism over some of her opinions, while Republicans grilled her.
Omarova's nomination proved a heavy lift at a time when the Biden administration needs to rally the support of all Democrats to ensure passage of its $1.75 trillion social and climate spending measure. At least 10 Democratic senators had expressed reservations, which would have made approval of Omarova virtually impossible, according to a congressional aide.
