President-elect Donald Trump has made his first major appointment by naming Susie Wiles as his White House Chief of Staff. Wiles, a seasoned GOP operative and Trump’s campaign manager, is credited with running one of his most disciplined and well-executed campaigns.
Trump expressed his admiration for Wiles during his victory celebration, describing her as tough, smart, and innovative. He highlighted her significant role in both his 2016 and 2020 campaigns, stating, “Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history. It is a well-deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud”.
Wiles’ appointment marks a historic moment as she becomes the first woman to hold the position of White House Chief of Staff. Known for her resilience and ability to navigate Trump’s often tumultuous management style, Wiles has been a key figure in his political operations for nearly four years.
