Trumps Appoints Campaign Manager, Susie Wiles, as Chief of Staff
...The Political Consultant is first woman in American history to hold the position
“Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history,” Trump said in a statement, “and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns.”
The president-elect continued: “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.
When she takes office in January 2025, Susie Wiles will be 32nd Chief of Staff, and make history as the first woman in American history to hold the powerful position. She comes behind Kamala Harris who, in 2021, made history becoming America’s first female Vice President.
Daughter of the late NFL broadcaster Pat Summerall, and a seasoned political operative from Florida, Wiles is one of the longest-serving advisers in Trump’s orbit, according to CNN.
For most of the campaign, CNN reveals, she was in charge of the flight manifest for Trump’s private plane – a thankless job that required her to shut down access to the former president when he wouldn’t tell someone “no” himself. At times, she also had to confront Trump about keeping certain people at arm’s length – though, her inability to prevent far-right provocateur, Laura Loomer, from joining the former president at a debate and a 9/11 memorial service created significant blow-back for her boss.
