An event will be held next week to thank Klain for his service and welcome Zients back to the White House, according to Biden's statement "During the last 36 years, Ron and I have been through some real battles together. And when you’re in the trenches with somebody for as long as I have been with Ron, you really get to know the person," the president wrote. "You see what they’re made of."
Biden hailed the accomplishments that his administration was able to achieve in the last two years, including economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, appointing Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court and addressing climate change, crediting Klain for their success.
Zients, a successful businessman, joined the Obama administration in 2009, eventually serving twice as Director of the Office of Management and Budget in an acting capacity in 2010 and from 2012-13. He is credited with leading the team that fixed the HealthCare.Gov website after a buggy rollout and later served as Director of the National Economic Council.
