Laura Barrón-López:
Well, essentially, it's a clean exit for Ron Klain right now, the classified documents scandal aside, because of the fact that it's a two-year marker.
He did have a number of successes that a lot of Democrats credit him for, including the infrastructure law being passed, as well as a lot of other Democratic priorities, including prescription drug reform. Sources confirmed to "NewsHour" that he is indeed stepping down in the coming weeks and is going to be potentially replaced by Jeffrey Zients as chief of staff.
And so Klain for a while had some criticism from Democrats. During the fall of 2021, he dealt with their frustrations about the inability to at first pass some of those big priorities that President Biden had, but, ultimately, they all came together, saw those get passed, saw productive midterms, and so he's leaving on a high note, according to a lot of Democrats.
