President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Susie Wiles as the White House chief of staff, making her the first woman to hold this influential position in U.S. history. Wiles, known as the 'Ice Maiden', previously served as Trump’s campaign manager, orchestrating his successful 2024 election run and earning praise for her strategic acumen. Trump lauded Wiles as 'tough, smart, innovative', and highlighted her role in achieving significant political victories. Her appointment is expected to shape the dynamics of the Trump administration, especially with her emphasis on controlling access to the Oval Office to prevent chaos seen during his first term. Wiles has a long history in politics, dating back to her work on Ronald Reagan's campaign and her involvement in various Florida political races. This selection is part of a broader transition as Trump prepares to return to the White House on January 20.
