US President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday announced that his campaign manager Susie Wiles will be his White House chief of staff. Wiles, 67, will be the first woman in US history to hold the position.
“Susie Wiles helped me achieve the greatest political victory in American history and was an integral part of my successful 2016 and 2020 campaigns,” Trump said two days after his decisive US election win over Democrat Kamala Harris.
The 78-year-old Republican said she is “tough, smart, innovative and is universally admired and respected.”
“Having Susie as the first female chief of staff in United States history is a well-deserved honor,” he added.
Wiles and her fellow campaign manager Chris LaCivita are credited with Trump’s successful presidential bid.
Trump also praised Wills during his victory speech on Wednesday.
“We call her the ‘ice baby’… Susie likes to stay in the background,” he said.
Incoming US Vice President J.D. Vance called it “very good news” and said Susie was a “huge asset” to Trump’s campaign.
“She will be a huge asset in the White House. She’s also a really nice person,” he added.
