White House chief of staff Ron Klain plans to step down in the weeks after President Biden's State of the Union address in early February
White House chief of staff Ron Klain, the powerful force at the center of Joe Biden’s first two years in office, is expected to step down in the weeks after the president’s State of the Union address, according to multiple people familiar. Klain’s exact timeline is still not set, the sources said, and he is expected to stay in the West Wing for a period of time to help with the transition period for his replacement, one of the people said. The State of the Union address is set for February 7.
Klain’s expected decision marks one of the first high-profile departures from an administration characterized by low turnover over its first two years. Biden announced that Klain would serve in the top job on November 14, 2020, days after the presidential election. On Friday, Klain commemorated the second anniversary of Biden’s inauguration with a celebratory staff email, and cake.
