First ever in US history: Trump picks a woman White House chief of staff


Mangalore Today News Network

United State, November 8, 2024: 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 become the first woman to hold the position in the US history.

"Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history, and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns," Trump said two days after his decisive US election win over Democrat Kamala Harris.

She is "tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected", the 78-year-old Republican said.

"It is a well-deserved honour to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history," he added.



Wiles, along with fellow campaign manager Chris LaCivita, are credited for Trump’s successful presidential bid.

Trump also gave a shout-out to Wiles during his victory speech on Wednesday.

"We call her the ’ice baby’... Susie likes to stay in the background," he said.

US Vice President-elect JD Vance called it a "great news" and said Susie was a "huge asset" to Trump on the campaign.

"She will be a huge asset in the White House. She’s also just a really good person," he said.
