WASHINGTON – President-elect Joe Biden announced the appointment of Ron Klain as White House Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President. A longtime aide to the president-elect, Klain will oversee the Executive Office of the President and serve as a senior advisor. In addition to supporting the president-elect, Klain will work to build a diverse, experienced and talented team to help President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris meet the urgent challenges facing the country.
“Ron has been invaluable to me over the many years that we have worked together, including as we rescued the American economy from one of the worst downturns in our history in 2009 and later overcame a daunting public health emergency in 2014,” said President-elect Joe Biden. “His deep, varied experience and capacity to work with people all across the political spectrum is precisely what I need in a White House chief of staff as we confront this moment of crisis and bring our country together again.”
“It’s the honor of a lifetime to serve President-elect Biden in this role, and I am humbled by his confidence. I look forward to helping him and the Vice President-elect assemble a talented and diverse team to work in the White House, as we tackle their ambitious agenda for change, and seek to heal the divides in our country,” said Ron Klain.
Klain was most recently a Senior Advisor to the Biden for President campaign and has previously served the president-elect in a number of roles including as his Chief of Staff when he became Vice President. Klain is also known for his role as the White House Ebola Response Coordinator at the height of that public health crisis.

So it is Pedo Joe and we all know why it’s heels up Harris.
You better go school all of the judges who aren’t agreeing with you since you’re so smart.
Don’t let lying criminal Repugnicants to put a crimp in your day.
Ron Klain is nothing but a bought-and-paid-for lobbyist who is calling in some markers from joggin’ Joe Biden.
He is no more president elect than You or I – Electorial college won’t give decision till next month also Governors have NOT verified election results (most of them know this election was a sham/corrupt – and in verifying such will make them a party to the crime. Trump isn’t rolling over for these Marxist who want to destroy America and neither will 73 million people who voted for him. Their little dog scheme is about to be bitten in the azz by the big dogs =know as PATRIOTS. State legislatures picks the electors and that would mean – red power – as state legislatures out number the blues -and and and the electors do not have to vote for the person who received the most vote if they feel it was not an honest election- SO THERE !
Joe and Kamala aren’t masked …oh no Covid must be over
I’m thinking that this is a political red herring.
Love it! The money train is coming. It’s about time. The ideology of people with too much money not wanting these bailouts exposes how mentally challenged they are with reality. Paycheck to paycheck runs this country not some aloof nincompoops. Cash is King! Pay me. Cha-ching.
