According to a New York Times report, US President Joe Biden’s chief of staff wants to step down after two years. Ron Klain will resign his post “probably in the coming weeks,” the newspaper reported on Saturday, citing government circles. Initially, nothing was known about the successor. Biden named Klain chief of staff two years ago at the start of his term.
Klain, 61, is considered a longtime confidant of Biden. He advised Biden early in his time as vice president under Barack Obama and worked for the Democrats when Biden was still in the Senate. Klain played a key role in the government during the first half of Biden’s tenure.
Klain has been talking to colleagues about his retirement since the US midterm elections in November, according to information from the New York Times. In the talks, he made it clear that he was ready for something new after a consistently strenuous time on Biden’s side that stretched into the 2020 presidential election campaign.
The Biden administration is currently being criticized, among other things, for its information policy regarding the appearance of secret documents in Biden’s private rooms. Last weekend it was announced that more documents had been found in Biden’s private home in the US state of Delaware. The White House had only admitted previous finds after media reports. (sda/dpa)
