Nussle Seen as Likely White House Budget Director
The piece argues Jim Nussle is a logical choice to replace Rob Portman as White House budget director. It notes his 16 years in Congress, bids for Iowa governor, past support for Bush, and his role guiding budgets as Budget Committee chair. It also cites his familiarity with Bush’s tax bills and entitlement programs and questions how his combative style may affect Senate confirmation and congressional relations.
