President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Susie Wiles, one of his campaign managers, as his White House chief of staff. This marks the first major staffing decision as Trump prepares for his inauguration on January 20. Wiles, 67, will be the first woman to hold this position. She is recognized for her disciplined approach during Trump's campaign and has previously worked on significant Republican campaigns, including those of Ronald Reagan and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Trump is also considering several candidates for other key roles in his administration, including former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for a position and Elise Stefanik for U.N. ambassador. Richard Grenell and Senator Bill Hagerty are potential candidates for secretary of state.
