US President Joe Biden's chief of staff, Ron Klain, is expected to leave office soon after two years in this very sensitive and central position in the White House, several US media said on Saturday.

According to The

New York Times

, Ron Klain "

confided privately to his colleagues since November's midterm elections that after a grueling and uninterrupted time alongside Joe Biden, dating back to the 2020 campaign, he is ready to move on

”.

The departure of this collaborator to one of the positions closest to the president could come after Joe Biden's annual State of the Union address, scheduled for February 7, adds the New York daily.

Ron Klain would be stepping down at a pivotal time in the term.

The 46th president of the United States, aged 80, could officially announce in the coming weeks that he is running for president in 2024, while his great Republican rival Donald Trump, 76, has already applied. .

After midterm elections in November, which were much less catastrophic than expected for the Democrats, who kept control of the Senate and narrowly lost the majority in the House of Representatives, Joe Biden recently found himself in difficulty because of of the case of the confidential documents of his vice-presidency (2009-2017) found in an office and at his private home, when they should have been handed over to the National Archives.

After former White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki, who left in 2022, Ron Klain's departure would be the second biggest around Joe Biden since he took office.

Generally, during the same presidential term, the position of chief of staff is rarely occupied four years in a row by the same person.

Four chiefs of staff had succeeded each other under Donald Trump.

Ron Klain, 61, served as chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore from 1995 to 1999, then to Vice President Joe Biden between 2009 and 2011. During Barack Obama's tenure, he served as the response coordinator for the White House to the Ebola virus crisis.
