After Neera Tanden's nomination as OMB director failed to pass in the United States Senate, Young has been supported by both Democratic and Republican politicians to be nominated as the OMB director.[1][2] On November 24, Biden announced he would nominate Young as OMB director, after eight months serving as acting director.[3] The Senate confirmed Young in a 61-36 vote on March 15, 2022.[4]
