Ron Klain's Record: How Biden's Chief Of Staff Is Keeping The Trains Running
With a big victory already under his belt, Klain now must gear up for many challenges ahead. But he comes to the job "uniquely well-prepared," says a journalist who wrote the book on chiefs of staff.
Joe Biden ran on competence and experience, and he chose a chief of staff known for both, Ron Klain.
"We're seeing a functioning White House. Go figure," says Chris Whipple, who wrote The Gatekeepers, a book about White House chiefs of staff. "That's a tribute to Klain."
In the first 49 days of the administration, Klain has had a big win and also a notable loss, but he entered the role with broad experience and a good relationship with the president.
