Trump praises Susie Wiles as “tough, smart, innovative” and calls her his chief of staff

President-elect Donald Trump has named Susie Wiles, the manager of his victorious campaign, as his White House chief of staff.

Wiles is widely praised inside and outside Trump’s inner circle for leading what was by far his most disciplined and well-executed campaign. She largely avoided the spotlight, even refusing to take the microphone to speak as Trump celebrated his victory early Wednesday morning.

“Susie is tough, smart, innovative and universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,” Trump said in a statement. “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 she will make our country proud.”

Wiles is a longtime Republican strategist who lived in Florida and managed Trump’s campaign in the state in 2016 and 2020. Previously, she managed Rick Scott’s 2010 campaign for Florida governor and briefly managed former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman’s 2012 presidential campaign.
