President-elect Donald Trump has begun picking out who he will bring with him to the White House. He has named his campaign manager, Susan Summerall Wiles, as his chief of staff. – It is an honor to have Susie as the first female chief of staff in the history of the United States, Trump announced on Thursday. She makes history with it and becomes the first female chief of staff. As chief of staff, Wiles will be one of Trump’s closest associates for the next four years. “Susie is tough, smart, innovative and is universally admired and respected,” Trump said in a statement. Wiles is Trump’s first appointment since winning the presidential election. She gets a lot of credit both in Trump’s inner circle and from others for having led what is considered to be his clearly best-executed election campaign. She herself has avoided the limelight, and also did not want to speak when Trump celebrated his election victory early Wednesday morning. Wiles is 67 years old, and was, among other things, involved in the election team of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. In 2016 and 2020, she led the Trump election campaign in Florida, where she has had her base for a number of years. Published 08.11.2024, at 00.40
