Donald Trump picks Susie Wiles to be chief of staff

President-elect Donald Trump has tapped his campaign senior adviser Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff.

Wiles, who amassed outsized influence as Trump's de facto campaign manager, will be the first woman to ever hold the title of White House chief of staff. Many have credited the professionalization of the most recent Trump campaign to Wiles' leadership.

A veteran of Florida politics, Wiles directed Trump's campaign to victory in the state in 2016. She also helped lead Ron DeSantis' 2018 campaign for Florida governor, before a falling out that prompted the Florida governor to successfully lobby the Trump team to fire her. Wiles was brought back shortly thereafter for the 2020 campaign in Florida.
