Neera Tanden, a longtime Democratic adviser and President Biden's staff secretary, has been named as the director of the Domestic Policy Council, replacing Susan Rice as Mr. Biden's top domestic policy adviser. Tanden has been a fixture in Washington for more than two decades as an adviser to President Barack Obama and as the president of the Center for American Progress. She was initially nominated to be the director of the Office of Management and Budget but withdrew from consideration due to lack of support for confirmation in the Senate.
