Jeff Zients, the former White House coronavirus response coordinator, is expected to replace Ron Klain as White House chief of staff, two sources familiar with the plans told The Hill.
Zients left his role as Biden’s first COVID-19 czar in April 2022 after advising the pandemic response effort and was replaced by Ashish Jha. He returned this fall ahead of the midterm elections to assist Klain with preparations for staff turnover as well as other projects.
The White House declined to comment.
Zients was director of the National Economic Council under former President Obama and before that was acting director of the Office of Management and Budget. Between the Obama and Biden administrations, he was chief executive officer of an investment firm, Cranemere, and was on the board of directors of Facebook.
Klain will likely leave following President Biden’s State of the Union address on Feb. 7, The New York Times first reported. Klain, who has been in the role for longer than any other Democratic president’s chief of staff, is expected to remain in his current role for some time to help his successor acclimate.
Prior to government, Zients was a management consultant for Mercer Management Consulting, which is now Oliver Wyman, and Bain & Company. He also was CEO and chairman of the Advisory Board Company alongside David Bradley, the former owner of The Atlantic. Zients, who is a Washington, D.C., native, formed a group with Colin Powell and others in 2005 to purchase the Washington Nationals.

ANOTHER Obama Handler for Bite Me. BYE BYE Pedo Joe!
The nasty Chinese Adulteress puppet loves to kill babies .

Yes, shit replaces shit. Nothing changes with these crooks, fools and Marxists.
Zients and Klane, six of one half a dozen of the other.
Klain is moving to a position to help soften and manage the impact (and provide damage control) that is coming as a result of an early Biden exit from the White House. Also he will be involved in planning and preparing the way for a successor Democrat candidate.
Might as well get out know before Biden gets out. IOW, no future there.
