WASHINGTON, Nov 30 The White House believes that Saule Omarova, a native of the USSR, will be approved for high White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said during the briefing, “We continue to support her nomination,” said White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki, despite Democratic protests. She stressed that Omarova is qualified for the position, which is why US President Joe Biden proposed it. The White House remains confident it will go through the approval process, Psaki said. Five Senate Democrats reportedly opposed Omarova's appointment. Without the support of all Democrats and with opposition from the Republicans, Omarova's candidacy will not pass in the Senate, since the seats there are distributed 50-50.In early November, Biden officially nominated Saule Omarova, a native of Uralsk in present-day Kazakhstan, to the position of bank regulator in the US Treasury, which Republicans and bank lobbyists criticized Omarova was heavily criticized at the Senate confirmation hearing, with Republican Senator John F. Kennedy wondering whether she should be called a professor or a “comrade.” Omarova herself stated that she is not a communist and that her family members have suffered from communism.
