WASHINGTON—Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin said he would oppose Neera Tanden’s nomination to lead the Office of Management and Budget, citing her past statements on social media, a stance that imperils her chances of getting confirmed by the Senate.

Mr. Manchin, of West Virginia, said he made his decision after reviewing the comments critical of lawmakers she made on Twitter while she led the Center for American Progress, a center-left think tank.

Mr. Manchin, a centrist who represents a state that voted twice for former President Donald Trump, is seen as a swing vote in the Senate.

“I believe her overtly partisan statements will have a toxic and detrimental impact on the important working relationship between members of Congress and the next director of the Office of Management and Budget,” Mr. Manchin said in a Friday statement. “For this reason, I cannot support her nomination.”

President Biden said the nomination would go forward. “I think we are going to find the votes and get her confirmed,” he said. Asked by reporters if he planned to pull the nomination, he responded, “No.”
