Wiles will become first female chief of staff in history
(FOX NEWS) – Susie Wiles, a longtime Republican political operative and campaign manager for President-elect Trump, will serve as his White House chief of staff.
Wiles will become the first female chief of staff in 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,” Trump said in a statement. “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.”
Vice President-elect JD Vance called Wiles a “huge asset” to Trump on the campaign trial “and will be a huge asset in the White House. She’s also just a really good person. Onward!”
Trump, during his victory celebration in West Palm Beach, Florida, late Tuesday night, gave special thanks to Wiles for her prominent role throughout the campaign.
“Let me also express my tremendous appreciation for Susie [Wiles] and Chris [LaCivita], the job you did. Susie, come, Susie,” Trump said, inviting her up to the microphone, but Wiles refrained from making comments.
“Susie likes to stay sort of in the back, let me tell you. The ice baby. We call her the ice baby. Susie likes to stay in the background. She’s not in the background,” Trump added. “Thank you, Susie.”
Wiles’ decades-long political career stretches back to working as former President Reagan’s campaign scheduler for his 1980 presidential bid.
