for the same either sloppy or intentional mishandling of documents. we need an electronic system and i don t know how you make that secure. that s the big challenge. our thanks again to charlie dent and caroline heldman for their analysis. u.s. president joe biden has picked a replacement for outgoing chief of staff ron klain. sources tell cnn he s expected to fill that role and being described as a master implementer. zients also served in the obama administration. klain is expected to step down in the coming weeks but a source says he ll remain close to the west wing. still to come this group of volunteers put themselves in danger to help civilians near the front line of ukraine. plus many afghans endure a
come into the white house should there be turnover. so far we ve seen little turnover within the administration. president biden landed on zients because it became clear that ron klain favored him. it comes at a criminal period with what the president is trying to implement. one thing will be implementing laws that president biden got passed on capitol hill and when you talk to people at the white house, sources, zients is known as a man to get things done. back in 2013 he was brought in to fix the obamacare web launch. but this is a criminal time for president biden as he faces the special counsel. always a difficult job but more so now.
of staff is going to be leaving and replaced by jeff zients who has a good reputation as a manager. an opportunity for reset when a new chief of staff comes in. do you think he would have a different approach on the documents or any other thing? you already hear rumors the left is wary of zients because he is not known as a progressive guy. maybe he is but not known for that. first of all ron klain presided over the worst two years of any presidency in my lifetime. think of the disasters he presided over. the worst inflation in 40 years, worst collapse in real wages in four decades, worst border crisis in american history, the worst crime wave since the 1990. the worst labor shortage in american history. this is the first major turnover since the election.
clark, is expected to appear in court after she was arrested during a protest in boston. riley dowel is facing several charges including assault after an officer was injured. police say they found her defacing the parkland bandstand monument. in a tweet the congresswoman is weighing in, addressing the arrest saying, quote, i love riley and this is a very difficult time in this cycle of joy and pain in parenting. this will be evaluated by the legal system and i am confident in that process. this morning we re learning about the man who is set to replace ron klain as white house chief of staff. president biden selected jeff zients who led the coronavirus response effort. this is what kaitlan did all day yesterday. i was texting you as i was reading it. it s fascinating because they re different. biden and zients are different. they manage differently, but this is his topic. very impressed by how he handled covid? really entering because jeff
has people in place to do the yauch outreach to the hill. even low zients will do a lot of that. did a lot of it as covid coordinator. no question about it, but the fact the president is choosing somebody who is part of his comfort zone and not thinking outside the box so to speak tells you a lot about that. about that he is thinking about the campaign ahead. he wants to have the white house well run so he can focus his other people on the campaign. something else that struck me, too, how quickly they moved on this and didn t give anyone else an opportunity to wage a public campaign. made their decision. and somebodiy trust minding the store when you re out presumably on the campaign trail. up next, squeeze and shame. report on a white house strategy. carried by president biden.
