"An appointment by Donald Trump that entered into U.S. history."

Donald Trump, who will take office as president for the second time in the United States, has started to determine the names in his administration. Trump made history by selecting 67-year-old Susie Wiles, who played a significant role in his election victory, as his chief of staff. Wiles will become the first woman to serve as White House Chief of Staff in U.S. history.

"A DESERVED HONOR"

In his statement, Trump said, "Wiles helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history." He expressed that Wiles is a tough, smart, innovative, and universally admired and respected individual, stating, "It is a deserved honor for Susie to be the first woman chief of staff in U.S. history. I have no doubt she will make our country proud."

A SIGNIFICANT FIGURE IN U.S. POLITICS

Susie Wiles is described as one of the most feared yet least known figures in American politics. Wiles had worked on Ronald Reagan's campaign in the 1980 elections, about a year after starting her career. Playing a significant role in politics in her home state of Florida, Wiles helped businessman Rick Scott, who had very little political experience, become the governor of Florida just seven months after his campaign began. Wiles began working with Trump during the 2015 Republican presidential primaries and became co-chair of his campaign in Florida. In 2016, she helped him win the state against Hillary Clinton. Wiles was also in charge of Trump's campaign in the state in 2020 and had been serving in his campaign since 2022.

The Chief of Staff, seen as the president's most important aide in the U.S., plays a crucial role in the administration. The chief of staff, who serves as the manager of the White House and is responsible for creating the president's schedules, also provides political advice to the president, guides, and oversees the political process.
