Susie Wiles to serve as first female White House chief of staff in history

Susie Wiles, a seasoned GOP operative, has been appointed as President-elect Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff. Wiles, known for her ability to operate behind the scenes, played a pivotal role in running Trump’s well-organized and disciplined campaign, which is widely regarded as one of his most successful.

During Trump’s victory celebration in West Palm Beach, Florida, he publicly thanked Wiles for her significant contributions to the campaign. Describing her as “tough, smart, innovative,” Trump praised Wiles for her exceptional leadership skills and noted that she is highly respected and admired within the political sphere. He also acknowledged Wiles as the first female chief of staff in U.S. history, expressing confidence in her ability to make the country proud.

Wiles, a veteran Republican strategist based in Florida, has an extensive political background that dates back to her role as former President Reagan’s campaign scheduler during his 1980 presidential campaign. She has also managed successful campaigns for prominent figures such as Rick Scott in his 2010 gubernatorial race in Florida and briefly served as the campaign manager for former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman’s 2012 presidential campaign.

Currently serving as a senior adviser to Trump and co-chair of his campaign alongside Chris LaCivita, Wiles brings a wealth of experience and strategic insight to her new role as chief of staff. Her appointment comes after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was considered a potential candidate for the position but ultimately declined the offer.

As Wiles assumes her new role in the White House, her appointment signifies a significant milestone in U.S. history as the first female chief of staff. With her proven track record of success and her unparalleled political acumen, Wiles is poised to make a lasting impact on the administration and the country as a whole.
