US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Susan Wiles, the Florida Republican strategist who led his successful 2024 election campaign, to be the White House chief of staff. Wiles will be the first woman in the position in the history of the American presidency.
Trump's decision was greeted with cheer in his own ecosystem, and with relief even among critics who see in Wiles a possible moderating influence over the former president.
In a statement on Thursday, Trump said, "Susan 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. 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 honour 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."
