“Who’s really running Biden‘s White House? Step forward President Klain,” the British newspaper proclaimed, naming longtime behind-the-scenes Democratic kingpin and current White House chief of staff
Ron Klain as the “driving force behind the actual president.”
Mr. Klain, 59, was chief of staff for former Vice Presidents
Al Gore and Joe Biden alike in previous administrations. He also was an adviser for
Hillary Clinton‘s presidential campaign. Things have gotten very busy in this day and age.
“Beating the pandemic, stimulating the economy, taking climate change seriously these are all Biden administration priorities. In particular, Klain has thrown his weight behind the ‘go big’ spendathon that has come to define Biden‘s first 100 days. Klain describes the task as ‘rebuilding the backbone of the country, rebuilding the soul of the country’,” The Times said.

Kyle O’Donnell is a serial renovator. At age 32, the founder of Gramercy Design who has fashioned homes for Anne Hathaway, Jimmy Fallon, and Jessica Lange has already owned (and remade) three abodes of his own. “I like to experiment with materials and design ideas that I haven’t had the chance to use in client projects,” he says. He was drawn to his most recent residence, a 900-square foot one-bedroom in Manhattan’s West Village, for its provenance and good bones. “It’s a Bing and Bing building,” O’Donnell explains, referring to real estate developers revered for creating well-proportioned apartments in Art Deco buildings.
