White House chief of staff Ron Klain expected to step down weeks after State of the Union address

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 with his plans.
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. CNN's Arlette Saenz reports.

The timing of him stepping down is interesting.

Are there any gender, color or behavior traits that are required to make it a "Historic Chief of Staff Pick"?

The other 70 percent of the population? If he’s referring to African Americans it’s actually only 13 percent of the population…

A man who, for many years, had the good fortune of being portrayed in film by Kevin Spacey and now has the misfortune of having been portrayed in a film by Kevin Spacey.

Low turnover? How many of Kamel toes staff left??

I would like to know why this dude who has been steering this ship is jumping overboard!

3:35 There's nothing wrong with having a minority as a Chief of Staff; however, it has no bearing on their qualifications. Thus it is not in and of itself a reason to choose someone.

I dont think it gets any higher than chief of staff. I love the down playing.

Picking someone because of their color is how we got Kamala.

Leaving the sinking ship he knows they're putting the old buffoon out to pasture He always know what's about to take place

[chadevans]

The story leaves out the most important part: why is he leaving? This isn't even explored. Just that he's leaving and who might replace him.

Looks like to me the RATS are starting to jump ship!

He should have been fired long ago for hiring Karine Jean-Pierre. Affirmative action hires always fail🤣👎🏽

Noticing the comments and whispering to myself “ he’s not stepping down because of his accomplishments or because things are going well”

[Pr.VicenteSilva]

Hello everyone, have a great weekend. I wish the best for everyone

[Pauly-hcqo]

All of JB staffs including JB need to step down for their incompetence to lead this nation

[reality]

The Biden crime family needs to be held accountable

[mxtuxdb]

He certainly can’t take the train when he leaves. He wrecked that while he was there

I would step down too if I was working for an 80 year old guy who can not structure a sentence.
