ISLAMABAD: US President Joe Biden on Friday named Jeff Zients to White House chief of staff, one of the most key positions in an administration gearing up for a possible re-election drive.  The new chief of staff replaces Ron Klain, who saw President Biden through the first two-year of his term.

The departure of Ron Klain, who had worked with Joe Biden throughout his decades-long career — from senator to vice president, then winner over former President Donald Trump in 2020 — will deprive president Joe Biden of one of his closest, most trusted aides.

White House Chiefs of Staff do many things from managing access to the US president, setting his agenda, communicating with political power brokers and working as a constant crisis manager and sounding board for different ideas.
