Trump picks Susie Wiles for White House chief of staff

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 8, ARMENPRESS. Susie Wiles, who led U.S. President-elect Trump’s campaign for the past two years, will serve as his chief of staff when he takes office in January.

“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,” The Hill reported citing a statement from Trump.

“Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,” he added. “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.”

The chief of staff pick was the first administration post Trump has announced since he clinched the presidency in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

According to The Hill, Wiles is a widely respected GOP operative from Florida who has avoided the spotlight even as she steered Trump’s third White House campaign alongside Chris LaCivita. She navigated the largely male-dominated campaign without making enemies, and Trump allies were quick to congratulate her on the role.

“This is great news. Susie was a huge asset to President Trump on the campaign and will be a huge asset in the White House. She’s also just a really good person. Onward!” Vice President-elect JD Vance posted on social platform X.
