On the 8th of November, U.S. President-elect Donald J. Trump announced his first round of staff appointments, naming his campaign manager, Susie Wiles, as White House Chief of Staff. Wiles will make history as the first woman to ever hold the position.

At 67 years old, Wiles has an extensive political background. She is a senior Republican political consultant who helped Ronald Reagan during his 1980 presidential campaign and served as his advance secretary during his presidency. Wiles also led Trump's campaign efforts in Florida in both 2016 and 2020, and in 2024, she is expected to play a central role in Trump's reelection team.

Wiles is known for her low-key, behind-the-scenes approach, which has earned her respect from both Republicans and Democrats. Trump expressed strong support for her appointment, praising her as strong, intelligent, and innovative, and noted that she is widely admired and respected. He also referred to her as the "Ice Maiden," highlighting her outstanding contributions behind the scenes.

As White House Chief of Staff, Wiles will oversee personnel management, presidential scheduling, team operations, and communication with other government departments and congressional members. Her influence is expected to be significant in shaping the administration’s day-to-day functions.
