President-elect Joe Biden recently announced Ron Klain as his chief of staff.
As a gatekeeper and top assistant to the president, the White House chief of staff serves a critical role. We discuss that role with attorney Samuel Skinner, who served as President George H. W. Bush’s White House chief of staff in 1991 and 1992; and DePaul University public service professor Nick Kachiroubas.
