It’s only been a few days since President-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election — rather decisively I might add — and he’s already shaking things up. In a good way. In fact, he’s proving the true party of diversity is the GOP, not the Democratic Party. This is on full display in who Trump chose to be his chief-of-staff: Susie Wiles. Wiles played a key role in the success of his presidential campaign, so this is a wise move by the president-elect.
But here’s the really cool part. Wiles has now become the first female chief-of-staff in our nation’s history. If you listen closely, you can probably hear all of the liberal pawns in the mainstream media who have claimed Trump hates women chewing up and swallowing those words as we speak. Yummy!
According to the folks at Trending News Politics. Wiles has a well established reputation for being a stellar strategist and not taking any crap from anyone. Much of her know-how helped the president-elect obliterate Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign. She helped Trump connect with minority voters and ensure his message reached those that this agenda will help the most: hard working Americans of all walks of life.
“Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history,” Trump went on to say in a statement. “She was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns. Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again. It is a well-deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.”
Known within political circles for her sharp instincts and ability to navigate complex situations, Wiles is expected to bring a strong sense of direction to the White House staff. Her selection also signals Trump’s intention to lean on his most trusted advisors as he gears up for a term likely to be as eventful as his first. Wiles has had a distinguished career in politics, starting in 1979 when she began as a staff assistant for Representative Jack Kemp of New York. She quickly ascended the ranks, serving in prominent roles during the Reagan administration including Deputy Director of Scheduling for Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign and as Special Assistant to the President in the Executive Office from 1981 to 1982. Her tenure in government continued as she served as Special Assistant to Secretary of Labor Raymond J. Donovan from 1982 to 1983.
Back in the 1990s — the good old days for those of my generation — Wiles became a key player in Florida politics. She served as the chief-of-staff for John Delaney, the mayor of Jacksonville and ended up being critical in helping him create policy that ultimately stimulated economic growth and economic initiatives. After that she was Chief of Communications and Special Initiatives for Mayor John Peyton. In this role she was responsible for crafting a number of big projects such as the Jacksonville Journey, which was a program designed to reduce crime.
“Wiles’s expertise in campaign management is well noted, having directed several high-profile political campaigns. In 2010, she managed Rick Scott’s successful gubernatorial campaign in Florida. She further cemented her reputation by serving as the Florida Co-Chair for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, contributing decisively to his victory in the state. In 2018, she led Ron DeSantis’s gubernatorial campaign, securing his win,” the report concluded.
