Susie Wiles has been appointed as the White House Chief of Staff by President-elect Donald Trump, marking her as the first woman to hold this position in U.S. history. Trump praised Wiles for her integral role in his campaign successes during his victory celebration, noting her ability to manage crises and command respect within the staff. Wiles, referred to as the 'ice baby' for her preference to work behind the scenes, has a long history in political operations, including roles in previous Republican campaigns. Despite some public backlash against Trump's re-election, Wiles has gained significant support within the party, with reports indicating that she is a top contender for the chief of staff role. Critics of Trump's administration are vocal about their concerns, particularly among women's rights activists, but Wiles remains a respected figure in Trump's orbit. Her appointment is seen as a strategic move to ensure effective management of the Executive Office of the President.
