Jeff Zients, who ran President Biden's Covid-19 response effort, is expected to replace Ron Klain as the next White House chief of staff, sources say
Jeff Zients, who ran President Joe Biden’s Covid-19 response effort and served in high-ranking roles in the Obama administration, is expected to replace Ron Klain as the next White House chief of staff, according to three people briefed on the matter. Klain is expected to step down in the coming weeks. The move to replace Klain is particularly important for Biden, who has entered a critical moment in his presidency and his political future.
Still, he will be tasked with replacing an official who was a central force inside the administration – and someone with a rapport developed over decades with Biden himself. Klain, who had long planned to depart the White House after Biden’s first two years, has targeted the weeks after the February 7 State of the Union address for the end of his tenure.
