President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday named co-campaign chair Susie Wiles as his White House first chief of staff, one of the most important non-elected posts in Washington.
“Susie 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,” Trump said in a statement Thursday.
After Trump’s resounding victory Tuesday over Vice President Kamala Harris, there was an overwhelming sense that Wiles was the frontrunner to be White House chief of staff.
“I’m told you know something about Florida,” Trump told Wiles when they first spoke on the phone, NBC News reported in March.
Response to Wiles’ hire as chief of staff was overwhelmingly positive from Republicans.
