美國：

President Joe Biden withdrew Neera Tanden nomination to serve as budget director on Tuesday, bowing to pressure from lawmakers over her controversial tweets.

美國總統喬-拜登週二撤回了對妮拉-坦登擔任預算主任的提名，屈服於議員們對她的爭議性推文的壓力。

In a statement, Biden wrote that he had accepted Tendons request to withdraw her name from consideration.

在一份聲明中，拜登寫道，他已經接受了坦登斯從考慮中撤回她的名字的請求。

And in a letter to the president released by the White House, Tanden wrote that she did not want her nomination to be a quote distraction from other priorities.

而在白宮發佈的一封給總統的信中，坦登寫道，她不希望自己的提名成為其他優先事項的報價分心。

It's the first Senate rebuff of one of Biden's nominees and reflects the tenuous hold Democrats have on the upper chamber, which is split 50 50 with Republicans.

這是參議院首次回絕拜登的一位提名人，也反映了民主黨在上議院的脆弱控制力，上議院與共和黨各佔一半。

During her confirmation hearings, Tanden had apologized for bashing Republicans on Twitter in the past, but was ultimately unable to win any GOP support.

在她的確認聽證會上，坦登曾為過去在推特上抨擊共和黨人而道歉，但最終未能贏得任何共和黨人的支持。

And her confirmation appeared doomed last week when moderate Democratic Senator Joe Manchin also said he would not vote to approve her.

而上週，當溫和派民主黨參議員喬-曼欽也表示不會投票準許她時，她的確認似乎已經註定。

The confirmation fight further underscores the challenges Biden will face as he works with a narrowly divided Congress.

確認之爭進一步凸顯了拜登將面臨的挑戰，因為他將與分歧不大的國會合作。
