Politico: Obama ‘Has Bigger Things in Mind’ for Ron Klain After He Does Ebola Job

Sources: Klain in line to succeed Podesta (Politico)

Administration insiders say Ron Klain, who starts Wednesday as the White House Ebola czar, will be in line to succeed John Podesta as counselor to President Barack Obama when Podesta leaves, likely to chair Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

“The president has been talking to Ron about different roles for a long time, and he wouldn’t accept the Ebola job unless there was a promise of something bigger,” said a longtime Klain colleague.
