Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Management and Budget and a key White House negotiator in the debt talks, has a rare asset — credibility with members of both parties.
McCarthy immediately turned around to look at Young, who was nearby, and complimented her as “well respected” and “well liked” on both sides of the aisle, according to people familiar with his comments who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private meeting.
Current and former colleagues note that Young has been involved in budget fights for more than a decade starting with her tenure on the House Appropriations Committee, working mostly behind the scenes and specializing in the details while developing strong relationships with Democrats and Republicans.Rep. Patrick T. McHenry , who chairs the House Financial Services Committee and was a key GOP negotiator, cited Young by name in praising Biden’s representatives last week.
“The trust that members have in her is great,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi said in an interview. “They know that she understands the values debate that this is about, not just the item on a balance sheet.” Biden, who has a coterie of long-serving aides and has stocked the senior ranks of his administration with many of them, initially expressed some reticence to tapping Young for the job because he did not know her well, said Rep. Steny H. Hoyer , who says he advocated for her.Hoyer said he told Biden that Young was the best person for the job, touting her expertise and political savvy.
She also said that she is “breathing a little easier” now that a deal had been reached, and that she had called her parents and told them they could rest a bit as well.
