President Joe Biden has announced Jeff Zients as his next White House chief of staff, replacing Ron Klain who has served in the role since 2020. Biden praised Klain for his leadership and said he is confident Zients will continue his example. Zients is an experienced technocrat and will help Biden prepare for his reelection bid while facing investigations from a newly empowered House Republican majority. There will be an official transition event at the White House next week to thank Klain and welcome Zients in his new role.
