Biden White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain will step down some time within the next few weeks pending a replacement being picked, the New York Times reports, characterizing the coming exit as a matter of simple burnout after a grueling two years than any sort of internal turmoil.
Klain already lasted longer than any of Trump’s four chiefs of staff, each of them (save for Mark Meadows) fired by Donald after telling him too much of what he didn’t want to hear, and Meadows going down with the ship after the humiliating loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Possible choices to succeed Klain include Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, former COVID czar Jeff Zients, White House domestic policy adviser Susan Rice, counselor Steve Richetti, and former Delaware Governor Jack Markell, and senior adviser Anita Dunn.
