President-elect Donald Trump announced Susan Wiles, his 2016 and 2020 campaign manager, as his White House chief of staff on November 7. Wiles, a Florida-based strategist, becomes the first woman to hold the position. Trump praised her as tough, smart, and innovative.
The appointment was the first of what is expected to be a flurry of staffing announcements as Trump girds for a return to the White House on Jan. 20.
Wiles will be the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff.
“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," Trump said. "I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.”
Two of the sources told Reuters that Wiles, a long-time Florida-based political strategist, is viewed as trustworthy and gets plaudits for helping to manage Trump's successful run for the presidency.
As the gatekeeper to the president, the chief of staff typically wields great influence. The person manages White House staff, organizes the president's time and schedule and maintains contact with other government departments and lawmakers.
Trump chose Wiles over former House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican who is close to Trump and has been a frequent visitor to Mar-a-Lago.
