Ron Klain, who served as chief of staff to Joe Biden in the Obama administration and as a senior adviser to Biden’s 2020 campaign, will be the next White House Chief of Staff.

Klain started working for Biden over 30 years ago and was considered Biden’s first choice for the position.

Per the New York Times, “Advisers have said that the president-elect will announce other top White House staff in the coming days, even as Mr. Trump refuses to accept the results of the election.”

Biden would, of course, be taking office in January in the middle of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Klain was the “Ebola czar” in charge of coordinating that public health response during the Obama administration.

Klain would be replacing President Donald Trump’s current White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who recently tested positive for coronavirus.
