President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Ron Klain to be his incoming chief of staff, elevating his longtime aide to one of the most powerful positions in the White House, officials familiar with the move told CNN on Wednesday.
Klain is one of Biden’s most trusted campaign advisers and was long seen as the most likely pick for the top job. He previously served as chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore during the Clinton administration and Biden during his tenure as President Barack Obama’s vice president.
Klain has accepted the offer and will begin a new era of service to Biden, officials said, with a formal announcement set for Thursday.
