Neera Tanden appointed as Biden's domestic policy adviser.

President Joe Biden has appointed Neera Tanden, a senior aide, as his domestic policy adviser, replacing Susan Rice. Tanden, who has served in two prior presidential administrations, will cover most areas outside of national security and the economy. She was previously Biden's staff secretary and played a major role in controlling the schedules, briefing books, and other paperwork that reached the president's desk. Tanden's appointment comes after she was forced to withdraw her nomination to be budget chief amid fierce opposition from Republicans and Senator Joe Manchin.
