Susie Wiles becomes first woman chief of staff for Donald Trump

Susie Wiles has been named chief of staff for Donald Trump, making her the first woman to hold this influential position. She previously contributed to Trump's successful 2016 campaign. The chief of staff is a key role, often the first appointment for a president-elect. This person manages White House staff, organizes the president's schedule, and liaises with other government officials. Trump's first administration saw four chiefs of staff, including one acting chief for a year, setting a record for the White House. Wiles' experience spans decades in Republican campaigns.
