President-elect Joe Biden selects Ron Klain as his White House chief of staff

12-11-2020 11:44

US President-elect Joe Biden has picked veteran political operative Ron Klain to be White House chief of staff, writes BBC.

Klain has served as a top aide to Biden since the 1980s in the Senate and later when he was vice-president. The ultimate Washington insider, Klain was also a senior White House aide to Barack Obama and chief of staff to Vice-President Al Gore. He was played by actor Kevin Spacey in the movie Recount, about the presidential election of 2000.

The White House chief of staff - who manages the president’s daily schedule and is often described as his gatekeeper - is a political appointee that does not require confirmation by the Senate.
