He is as tough, smart, determined, and persistent as anyone I have ever met. He assembled the most diverse and the most talented White House team in history and leaned on them to solve impossible challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Replacing Klain will be Zients, who worked with Biden during the Obama administration as the head of the Office of Management and Budget and was the man tasked with fixing issues with healthcare.gov.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Zients led Biden\u2019s coronavirus response team for the first year Biden was president.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWhen I ran for office, I promised to make government work for the American people. That\u2019s what Jeff does.

He has worked alongside Biden for decades and held various jobs on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch, including as chief of staff to Biden when he was vice president.<\/p>\n<p>Zients has been hailed as an expert manager who is able to solve complex problems, and White House allies believe he will be an asset as attention shifts to implementing laws passed during Biden\u2019s first two years.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Some have noted he lacks the political experience of Klain, indicating more of the burden may be shifted to other top White House aides like Anita Dunn and Jen O\u2019Malley Dillon as Biden prepares to balance governing with a likely 2024 reelection campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Progressives, who built a strong relationship with Klain, may also be wary of Zients given his extensive background in the corporate world.<\/p>\n<p>White House staff had avoided publicly confirming the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> of Klain\u2019s coming departure since it was first reported, but on Friday multiple officials offered their appreciation to Klain for his time in the building.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cAs I said earlier this week,\u00a0@WHCOS\u00a0has been an incredible leader and boss,\u201d press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted. \u201cAnd I will always be a Klainiac. I\u2019m grateful for everything Ron has done \u2014 for the White House and for America.\u00a0Congratulations\u00a0and thank you for your service to our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were tough days, but Ron\u2019s vision was always clear: Securing legislative wins and effective implementation that put our economy on stronger, sustainable, more resilient path. A great leader.
