In a historic announcement, President-elect Donald Trump has named Susie Wiles as his Chief of Staff, making her the first woman to serve in this powerful White House role. Wiles, who led Trump’s 2024 campaign and played a central role in his 2016 and 2020 victories, has been widely acknowledged as a key strategist in Trump’s political ascent.
“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 stated in a press release on Thursday. “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.”
Wiles, a seasoned political strategist, is known for her sharp tactics and unwavering dedication, making her an asset to Trump’s campaign and transition team. Her appointment as Chief of Staff signals Trump’s commitment to relying on trusted allies and experienced political figures as he returns to the Oval Office.
Senator JD Vance, a Trump ally who observed Wiles’s work during the campaign, expressed confidence in her abilities: “Susie was a huge asset to President Trump on the campaign and will be a huge asset in the White House.”
As Chief of Staff, Wiles will be responsible for managing the daily operations of the White House, coordinating with Congress, and advancing Trump’s policy goals. With her extensive experience and reputation as a skilled strategist, Wiles is expected to play a significant role in shaping Trump’s agenda as he embarks on his second term.
Wiles’s appointment is a milestone for women in American politics, marking a historic step in White House leadership as she joins the ranks of influential female figures breaking barriers across the political landscape.
