President Biden is gearing up for his final five months in office, determined to make them as productive as any five months of his presidency. White House chief of staff Jeff Zients shared with Axios that every single day matters to the president, who is focused on finishing strong and continuing to make history together.

During a recent interview, Zients highlighted Biden’s plans for the remaining months, including aggressive implementation of legislative accomplishments, lowering costs for families, protecting personal freedoms and civil rights, and restoring America’s position as the indispensable nation. The president is looking to secure a hostage deal on a cease-fire in the Middle East, help Ukraine defend itself, and outcompete China while investing in alliances.

Zients emphasized the progress made during Biden’s term, from overcoming the challenges of COVID-19 and a deep recession to strengthening the economy and alliances. He praised the president for his leadership in rallying the world against Putin, expanding NATO, and bringing detained Americans home.

Behind the scenes, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris stay connected, with daily conversations and briefings. Zients, a former entrepreneur and CEO, keeps his team motivated by communicating regularly, celebrating victories, and emphasizing the impact they are making on people’s lives.

As the administration looks ahead to the future, Zients remains optimistic and focused on running across the finish line together with his team. He believes that optimism, coupled with a credible plan, is essential for inspiring others to believe in the vision for a better future.
