President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Susie Wiles will be his Chief of Staff in the White House, making her Trump’s first big appointment of his second administration.
Wiles ran Trump’s campaign that helped him to an historic election win over Kamala Harris on Tuesday night.
She appeared alongside Trump as he declared victory with his family and staff in Palm Beach, Florida.
The decision makes her the first-ever female Chief of Staff in U.S. history.
“Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history, and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns,” President Trump said. “Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected.”
“Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again. 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,” he added.
Prior to working as Trump’s campaign manager in his successful 2024 presidential bid, she was a Florida-based Republican strategist who ran his campaigns in 2016 and 2020 in the Sunshine State. Trump won the state both during both of those elections.
Additionally, she worked on Ron DeSantis’ governor bid in 2018 and on Rick Scott’s 2010 campaign to be the governor of Florida.
