Marty Walsh, Boston’s mayor before joining the Cabinet, earned praise from Biden as recently as Friday for his job performance.
Those on the shortlist to succeed Klain include Walsh; Steve Richetti, counselor to the president; former White House COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients; Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack; and Anita Dunn, a White House senior adviser.
Vilsack, a former Iowa governor, is in his second stint as agriculture secretary after serving in the role for the entirety of the Obama administration. He volunteered for Biden during Biden’s ill-fated 1988 presidential bid in Iowa. The former Boston mayor and current US secretary of labor discussed labor issues at a forum in Boston Wednesday.
