Ron Klain has stepped down as White House chief of staff, turning the keys to the West Wing over to Jeff Zeist.<\/p>\n

I watched Klain’s goodbye speech to the staff — and to President Biden — this week and was stunned at what Klain said the administration has been able to accomplish in just two years of the president’s (hopefully) first term in office.<\/p>\n

He cited the infrastructure bill, climate change legislation, inflation reduction legislation, managing our involvement in Europe’s largest ground war since World War II, reducing the national budget deficit … and on and on.<\/p>\n

Well, here’s the video of Klain’s speech. Let him tell the story.<\/p>\n
