"Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history and was an integral part of my successful 2016 and 2020 campaigns," Trump said.
Wiles stuck with Trump even when many considered the politician an outcast after his supporters stormed the Capitol. Unlike some advisers, she rarely argued with him and instead maintained a close relationship.
The future chief of staff of the US White House is considered the most influential political strategist in the state of Florida — she won Rick Scott's 2010 gubernatorial campaign, managed Trump's Florida campaigns in 2016 and 2020, helped Ron DeSantis win the 2018 gubernatorial election and managed Trump's 2024 national campaign to
Wiles is a longtime Trump ally, has experience coordinating his legal and political affairs, and has long served on his team.
Her role as chief of staff will be key: she will be responsible for managing the White House staff, overseeing the flow of information to the president and determining who will have access to the Oval Office. Wiles will also be the main link between the president and Congress, representatives of the executive branch and other influential groups.
Trump's aides saw Wiles as someone who could manage his moods and impulses without necessarily restraining him. Trump mentioned Wiles frequently on the campaign trail, praising her publicly.
Susie is strong, intelligent, innovative, and she is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to make America great again.

CNN previously reported that Wiles was the main contender for the position, but had some reservations and put forward some conditions to Trump. The first was greater control over who could contact the president in the Oval Office.
