In response to Joe Biden appointing Ron Klain, his former chief of staff as Vice President and the Obama Administration’s Ebola Czar, as his new White House chief of staff, Protect Our Care’s Coronavirus War Room Director Zac Petkanas released the following statement:
“Ron Klain is a qualified, capable, and distinguished public servant with an unparalleled knowledge of how the federal government can successfully respond to a public health crisis.
“As the Ebola Czar, Klain let science and the experts lead the way, coordinating the vast bureaucracy efficiently, and effectively communicating with the American people and the world with evidence based information. His success spearheading the response to that crisis is a stark contrast from the Trump Administration’s ego-driven handling we’ve suffered through during the coronavirus pandemic.
“President-elect Biden’s choice of Klain to lead his White House staff shows just how seriously his incoming Administration is taking this ongoing public health crisis and his determination to finally tackle this pandemic.”
