Trump appoints Susie Wiles as first female chief of staff

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Susie Wiles as his chief of staff, marking the first time a woman has held this position in the White House. Wiles, a political operative from Florida, was a key figure in Trump's past campaigns. This appointment comes as Trump prepares for significant changes in immigration policy, including a proposed mass deportation program affecting about 11 million undocumented immigrants. Trump has not provided a cost estimate for this plan, which experts suggest could exceed $315 billion. As Trump builds his administration, he faces challenges within the Democratic Party following Kamala Harris' defeat. President Joe Biden has called for unity and confidence in the electoral process while Democrats grapple with internal divisions and blame for the election outcome.
