Sighs in trial, big emails, soda addiction

Being the Chief of Staff of the President of the United States is not the easiest job in the world. Ronald Alan Klein took office on January 20, 2021, after Joe Biden made it clear that he wanted to see his former vice president. Last year for Klein, which brought so much ordeal, He addressed it by asking sixty of his acquaintances Stamford attorney.

In 2021, the chief of staff was said to have fallen into a deeply polarized political situation, criticized inside and outside his party — but running the White House has never been a stress-free job. “We just learned about it at the time. It takes a lot of energy, so we’ll see how long I will last,” he said of his mission.

Created as Chief of Staff

His office is located right next to the Oval Office. On the wall is a huge white board hanging full of sticky notes with dates on it. He uses these in Sabbath meetings when he administers the president’s programs.

Immaculate resume, decades of political experience and strong democratic inclusion. It was no coincidence that Biden chose him as the White House chief. The sixty-year-old Klein was already active in politics during his years at Harvard Law School, and later held important positions in nearly all democratic governments. He was twice Vice Presidential Vice President, first under Bill Clinton and then under Vice President Barack Obama, and is now the first man in the United States, Joe Biden to take charge of government. Working on a multi-Democrat campaign, Bill Clinton and then Bident prepared for campaign discussions in the 2020 election. Thus, in recent decades, he has become Biden’s confidant and “well-organized and sensitive” chief of staff.

His colleagues described him as a purposeful, energetic, round-the-clock boss. The administration of the White House and the constant meetings and organization is a constant pressure. According to his colleagues, it was just like Klein was crying in a meeting. It is his habit to make sharp comments after negotiations or send large, frustrating emails to his subordinates. He used to apologize for those. And if that wasn’t enough, her favorite soft drink has been sold out: Klein is a fan of a drink called Tab, which Coca-Cola discontinued in 2020. His wife was surprised enough of Hanukkah for a year in 2020, but that didn’t last.

The pandemic brought many misfortunes to Washington, and Klein was criticized for his performance in 2021, even from his allies. In their opinion, the position of the Prime Minister in such a situation will not lead to results. Despite the denials, some officials say there could be significant tension between the chief of staff and the presidential adviser on the pandemic, Jeff Zentz. “We knew it simply at the time. He’s been an invaluable partner all along and needs to be involved in every major decision,” said Zenz.

Many things remain unfinished

One of his great advantages is his contribution to the $1,900 billion coronavirus relief package and the $1,000 billion infrastructure package, jointly adopted by Democrats and Republicans last year. These are the packages They are important measures for Biden’s leadership, such a large amount of infrastructure spending has not been available to the United States for a long time. The infrastructure package aims, among other things, to renovate neglected roads and bridges, develop public transportation and expand electronic services. Despite all this, there are those who lack significant support for the social sector and green energy production.

Another great advantage is that his political opponents are also aware that he was a good choice for the position. “It’s an incredibly effective workforce. It’s a lot of self-confidence, and most importantly the president has complete confidence in it,” said Mike Donilon, a senior White House adviser. About Washington’s internal struggles, bargaining with elites, and voters could not see much of it.Given the size of the country, the leadership of the United States may find it difficult to talk about anything other than balancing and reconciling the thousands of organizations and the political and business interests of member states.And what makes these matters to the Office of Biden is part of the responsibility for Klein, whose experience ranges from public representation to advocating for private companies.” We try to find a way to have meetings in the morning or late at night, so perhaps the president has time to appear in public during the day. “You can even travel,” Klein said.

He is said to have received much criticism from centrists within the Democratic Party. They say he talks too much with progressives, and significantly destroys the conservative, centrist democratic image of the Biden government. There is debate as to whether the increasing influence of the progressives is really a harmful level within the party. According to Klein, the negotiations are justified. The chair of the Congressional Progressive Committee, Pramila Jaipal, believes that Klein’s support is due to their support for Biden’s policy.

Criticism was also appreciated for her continued activity on Twitter, where the chief of staff often tweets and retweets. He thinks being on Twitter is helpful because you can see what journalists, activists, government critics, and Republicans are talking about right now. He often talks sarcastically about his internet habits. “I’m just a middle-aged, overweight white guy,” he says of himself.

Some already appreciate his performance in restoring the devastated government to the old wheelhouse after the Trump presidency. He himself believes that he has made great progress, but “there is still a lot to be done”.
