According to reports reaching Oyogist.com, US President-elect Joe Biden is structuring an incoming administration as he focuses on building a team of allies.
“We face a lot of really complex problems here,” Ron Klain, Biden’s incoming chief of staff, said in an interview.
“They are crises to the country. I think for the government to solve them you need really comprehensive, whole-of-government solutions. That’s what we’ve been building through the campaign and then more intensively through the transition.” he said further.
So far, Biden’s transition team plans to hire hundreds of staff to fill in various political appointments in various agencies.
“Wee are hiring on day one 500-600 people to go into the agencies to fill political appointments there,” Klain said.
“We’re going to have more people on the job on day one in these positions than President Obama did on day 100. We’re moving very quickly to really try to restaff the government, beef up the government and enable it to begin to deliver results for the American people.”
