Joe Biden’s administration will undoubtedly chart a different path for America than the previous administration. Biden has served many years in public service, and to tackle the many challenges ahead, he has been assembling a seasoned staff of experts to address them, many of whom served in the Obama administration. As President Biden assumes office, we wanted to look back at some of the content GLG has produced with incoming members of his staff.

Ron Klain, the former United States Ebola response coordinator under President Obama, was a guest on an episode of our podcast Deciding Factors, where he discussed the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic and what we have learned. He talks about the importance of official communication and how a quicker future response can mitigate both health and economic risks.
