Klain, 61, is considered a longtime confidant of Biden. He had already advised Biden at the beginning of his time as Vice President under Barack Obama and was already working for the Democrats when Biden was still in the Senate. Klain played a key role in the government during the first half of Biden’s tenure.
According to information from the “New York Times”, Klain has been talking to colleagues about his retirement since the US midterm elections in November. In the talks, he made it clear that he was ready for something new after an uninterruptedly strenuous time at Biden’s side, which extended into the 2020 presidential election campaign.
The Biden government is currently being criticized, among other things, for its information policy on the appearance of secret documents in Biden’s private rooms. Last weekend it was announced that further documents had been discovered in Biden’s private home in the US state of Delaware. The White House had only admitted previous finds after media reports.
