Now that President Joe Biden has announced that his longtime confidante Ron Klain is stepping down from his job as White House Chief of Staff, it’s clear that his successor, former White House Covid response coordinator Jeff Zients may need some newspapers to fill out the proverbial size 24 shoes Mr Klain will leave behind in his West Wing corner office.
In a statement, Mr Biden hailed his outgoing top aide as a “once-in-a-generation talent” with both a “fierce and brilliant intellect” and “a big heart” to match. and described him as “uniquely qualified” for the role he is vacating due to his long record of public service dating back to when Mr Klain first came to work for him as a third-year law student.
