Newest WHCOS, Jeff Zients, is not being received well by Democrats, with many progressives blaming him for undercutting their agenda. Many House Democrats have complained that he outsources too many tasks, running his office like a CEO.
Zients became White House chief of staff following the departure of his predecessor, Ron Klain, on Feb. 1. His tenure has been marked by a distinct change in leadership style, with many House Democrats complaining that he outsources too many tasks, running his office like a CEO, according to a Politico report.
“The White House is a quick-paced place and from Jeff on down, we are maximizing every minute,” deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said. “So if we have a 15-minute meeting, it’s because the meeting only needs to be 15 minutes. And if the meeting needs to be an hour, he’ll make it an hour.” “There’s a transition going on in the administration,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal , chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told Politico. “We were looking forward to developing a good relationship with Jeff Zients, but at this point, we’re not in that place yet. So we’re still working on it.”
