Donald Trump names Susie Wiles
In selecting Ms. Wiles, Trump has chosen an aide with whom he shares a close working relationship.
Known for her resilience in navigating Trump's often tumultuous management style, Wiles has been a key figure in his campaigns since 2016.
She will make history as the first woman to hold the position of White House chief of staff.
Wiles' tenure with Trump includes managing his political operations and assisting with his legal challenges.
Her ability to maintain stability within Trump's team, despite the high turnover of chiefs of staff during his first term, underscores her capability and loyalty.
"Susie is tough, smart, innovative and is universally admired and respected," Trump stated, expressing confidence in her ability to serve the nation effectively.
This appointment contrasts sharply with Trump's 2016 choice of Reince Priebus, who had little prior history with Trump.
Wiles' close ties with Vice President-elect JD Vance and Trump's family, including his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric, further solidify her position within the inner circle.
