President-elect Joe Biden has formally offered the job of White House chief of staff to longtime adviser Ron Klain.
Klain accepted the offer and will begin a new era of service to Biden, officials said, with a formal announcement set for Thursday.
The Biden campaign has issued a statement officially naming Klain as Biden’s choice.
“His deep, varied experience and capacity to work with people all across the political spectrum is precisely what I need in a White House chief of staff as we confront this moment of crisis and bring our country together again,” Biden said in the statement.
