Biden said: “Ron has been invaluable to me over the many years we’ve worked together, including as we rescued the American economy from one of the worst recessions in our history in 2009 and then weathered an overwhelming public health emergency in 2014.”
Klain said, “It is the honor of a lifetime to serve President-elect Biden in this position, and I am honored by his trust. I look forward to helping him and the Vice President-elect build a talented and diverse team to serve in the White House. “
Klain, who graduated from Harvard Law School, is married to Monica Medina and they have three adult children.
