Susan Wiles, a seasoned political strategist, has been named as US President-elect Donald Trump's chief of staff, marking the first significant appointment for his incoming administration. The 67-year-old Florida-based strategist is set to make history as the first woman to hold this position.
The chief of staff plays a pivotal role, overseeing the executive office and acting as the gatekeeper to the president by managing White House staff and coordinating the president’s schedule and meetings.
“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 when announcing her appointment on Thursday.
“Susie is tough, smart, innovative and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,” he added.
Wiles is recognized as a key player in Trump's reelection campaign, credited with instilling a greater level of discipline within his campaign operations. Her political experience dates back to her role as campaign scheduler for former President Ronald Reagan in 1980. She has since managed various campaigns, including Ron DeSantis’ successful bid for Florida governor in 2018, and played a crucial role in Trump’s victory over DeSantis in this year’s primaries.
Wiles is often described as a quiet yet influential figure, known for her low profile and limited public appearances. Trump pointed out this characteristic, mentioning during his victory celebration in Florida that Wiles “likes to stay in the background” and has earned the nickname “Ice Maiden.”
During his first term, Trump cycled through four chiefs of staff and later expressed that hiring the wrong individuals was his biggest error. However, he conveyed in a Fox News town hall this September that he has now identified the “right” people to work with in his future administration.
Details on other appointments within Trump's new administration remain unclear. In a recent interview with Fox News, the president-elect stated that he does not intend for any family members to serve alongside him. Previously, he indicated interest in offering “influential” positions to notable figures such as Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a former Democrat who had run as an independent this year before endorsing Trump.
Media reports suggest that Trump is also contemplating New York Republican Representative Elise Stefanik for the role of US ambassador to the UN, along with former US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell for secretary of state. Trump is set to commence his second term in the White House following his inauguration in January 2025.
